Lonely Planet review for Central Buddhist Museum
The new Central Buddhist Museum has three galleries of antique woodblocks, symbol-filled paintings and other Buddhist artefacts. In one corner is a teashop, Namu (732 5292; teas W3000-5000; 10am-7pm Mon-Sat). In another corner is the Information Centre for Foreigners (732 5292; 10am-5pm Mon-Sat), staffed by English-speaking Buddhist guides. Making lanterns and prayer beads, doing woodblock printing, painting and drinking green tea are usually possible. The activities are free but donations are welcome. Ask about having a meditation lesson and a four-bowl Buddhist monk meal (W30,000). A temple stay can also be arranged.
