Lonely Planet review

The best of the university folk museums, Sejong has a superb collection, especially the well-displayed hanbok that takes up an entire floor and includes outstanding royal clothing. Rarely visited, the museum should be much more popular - the furniture chests, palanquins, shamanist items, and the wooden, leather and silk shoes for the different social classes all present vivid images of the feudal past.

English descriptions are poor, but the objects are worthy of the poem that praises the museum as 'a place of wisdom, beauty and virtue' where you can 'listen to the thousand-year-old ancestors whispering quietly'.
