Lonely Planet review

Only a small amount is on show, but it includes exquisite examples of a neglected craft. In the 'good' old days nearly everything was embroidered - clothes, shoes, boxes, pillow-ends, screens, pin cushions, toys and thimbles. Delicate patchwork pojagi (wrapping cloths) had many uses and some were made out of silk or ramie (cloth made from pounded bark). Items are not described but illustrated books on Korean embroidery (in English) are on sale.
