Unleash Your Inner Cartoonist: Korea Manhwa Museum – A Creative Sanctuary for Comic Culture Just a short ride from Seoul in the city of Bucheon lies a vibrant haven dedicated to one of Korea’s most dynamic art forms: manhwa. The Korea Manhwa Museum invites visitors into a world where comics, webtoons, animation and storytelling converge—offering an experience that’s equal parts visual feast and hands-on creation. Whether you’re a lifelong comic fan, traveling with family, or simply curious, this museum offers a refreshing and imaginative escape. From the moment you enter the lobby you are greeted by bold graphics, character sculptures and interactive displays that set the tone for a journey through Korea’s comic heritage. Exhibition halls trace the evolution of manhwa—from early illustrations and print comics to today’s global webtoon phenomenon. You’ll see how Korean creators embraced technology and storytelling, changing both format and audience along the way. One of the museum’s most compelling features is its immersive “experience zone,” where you can step into the shoes of a comic artist. Try sketching your own character, color panels using digital tablets, or wander through the massive manhwa library housing tens of thousands of volumes. For visitors of all ages, the joy of creation becomes part of the visit—not just observation. Families will find plenty of fun: there are play-friendly zones filled with iconic comic characters, multimedia games, and workshops designed to engage both children and adults. For adult visitors or design-enthusiasts, rare original drawings, behind-the-scenes concept boards and media installations reveal the creative process behind Korea’s most beloved stories. The museum is part of a larger cultural hub in Bucheon—a city known for its comic-art festivals and creative energy. After your museum visit, you can wander nearby cafés, browse street art, or simply relax in an artistic district buzzing with possibility.

Gyeongbokgung Palace (Taegukgi-gil)

Seoul(Jongno-gu) , Insadong・Jongnon

Built in 1395, Gyeongbokgung Palace is also commonly referred to as the Northern Palace because its location is furthest north when compared to the neighboring palaces of Changdeokgung (Eastern Palace) and Gyeongheegung (Western Palace) Palace. Gyeongbokgung Palace is arguably the most beautiful, and remains the largest of all five palaces.The premises were once destroyed by fire during the Imjinwaeran War (Japanese Invasion, 1592-1598). However, all of the palace buildings were later restored under the leadership of Heungseondaewongun during the reign of King Gojong (1852-1919).Remarkably, the most representative edifices of the Joseon Dynasty, Gyeonghoe-ru Pavilion and Hyangwonjeong Pond, have remained relatively intact. Woldae and the sculptures of Geunjeongjeon (The Royal Audience Chamber) represent past sculptures of contemporary art.The National Palace Museum of Korea is located south of Heungnyemun Gate, and the National Folk Museum is located on the eastern side within Hyangwonjeong.A new street called taegeukgi-gil (literally "Korean flag street") has been developed on one of Hyoja-dong's streets, where a total of 240 flags were be flown along the street near Gyeongbokgung Palace. A similar street can be found in front of Cheongwadae (the Blue House, or presidential residence). The street was created in 2015 to mark the nation’s 70th anniversary of victory over Japan, which liberated Korea from Japanese occupation. The display of the taegeukgi was put up on March 1 in remembrance of the March 1st Movement, also known as the Sam-il Movement, one of the earliest public displays of Korean resistance during the Japanese occupation of Korea. The flags will be taken down at the end of the year.* Tickets for Gyeongbokgung Palace are also valid at the National Palace Museum and the National Folk Museum.
