Min Young ParkNovember 8, 2011경복궁, 삼청동 산책하다가 둘러보기 좋습니다. 과거의 거리를 재현해놓았습니다. 사진은 10월 초 궁궐 야간 개장때 촬영한 것으로, 평소에는 개방하지 않는 박물관 위로 올라가서 찍은 거랍니다. 이 곳에서 보는 서울의 야경이 멋집니다.Upvote2Downvote

Yoonki JeongAugust 6, 2015무료라는 최대 장점! 황룡사 같은 높은 탑 부분은 올라가볼 수 없습니다. 다른 박물관에 비해 문서나 유물보다는 재현된 전시품이 많아 어린이들에게 보다 흥미롭지 않나 생각이 듭니다.Upvote1Downvote
