Lotte World Folk Museum

Lotte World Folk Museum, Korean folk culture museum in Jamsil 3-sam-dong, South Korea.

The Lotte World Folk Museum is located on the third floor of the Lotte World entertainment complex and uses miniature dioramas, moving waxworks, and detailed reconstructions to display Korean history. The exhibits cover different periods of Korean civilization with small-scale models and artifacts.

The museum was created as part of the Lotte World complex to showcase Korean history through miniature reconstructions and waxworks displays. It represents important phases of the country's development from ancient times through the Joseon period.

The displays show how people lived and worked during the Joseon Dynasty, with miniature craftspeople and scenes of daily tasks and traditions. You can see the layout of old homes and the objects families used in their daily lives.

The museum is located within a larger entertainment complex, making it easy to visit if you are already in the area or want to see other attractions. Since it is housed in a shopping center, note that lighting is artificial and it can become crowded depending on the time of day.

The waxwork figures in the displays actually move and tell small stories, giving the exhibits a living quality rarely found in other folk museums. These animated figures make the historical scenes more engaging to watch than traditional static displays.
