Korean Museum of Advertisement

There are so many different museums in the world. But all these museums are connected with one thing - history! All these museums save a long-standing or even centuries-old history.

A couple of weeks ago I was going home and I saw a very interesting museum ‘A museum of advertisement’. I had some free time, so I decided to enter it and I really enjoyed it.

About the museum

The museum was founded in 2008 in Seoul by Korean Broadcast Advertisement Corporation. Museum founders say: ‘Advertisement is not plenty of promotion materials, it is information, it is art, it is entertainment.’ Personally, I would say that also advertisement is a culture.

The museum saves more than 120-years of history. Here you can find the first advertisement in Korea.

Entry to the museum is free. But now due to COVID19, you need to make a reservation online. But actually, you can do it right there in the museum.

Exhibition

Right after you enter the exhibition hall you will see a wall with Advertisement chronology. And along the wall different devices and equipment that advertisement creators used before.

The exhibition hall is well-planned. You smoothly can learn about the advertisement from the very beginning till today. Also, there are 2 video halls where visitors can watch video advertisements.

Here you can find all different advertisement channels: TV, radio, newspaper, banners, printed or digital advertisement, internet advertisement, etc.

Here is a poster of the very first advertisement in Korea.

The world-famous Korean corporation Samsung has a long history too. And here is one of the first advertisements of Samsung.

Activity Corner

I think there is no museum where is no activity corner in Korea. I really like it because one thing is to look at posters, papers, and so on, but another thing is to be a part of it. Especially, for kids. All kids like interactions.

Summary

Korean Advertisement museum represents 120-years of advertisement history in Korea. Also, there is an education area, library, and other facilities that help to learn more about marketing, advertisement, and all other related areas.

Welcome to Seoul National Cemetery

The weather is getting better and I try to travel as much as it is possible. It is hard to travel overseas, but if be honest, there are so many places to visit in Korea too. And I don’t think I will ever say that I visited all of them. Today I will take you to the Seoul National Cemetery. You may say ‘Uhhh…it is scary, it is creepy, but I am sure you will change your opinion after our online tour. Location The cemetery is located in Seoul on Dongjak Station (Subway Line 4 and 9). About Seoul National Cemetery During the difficult time in the 1940-50s when wars took the lives of soldiers, there was a need for a cemetery. In the beginning, most soldiers were buried in the local areas where they served. But an increasing number of deaths made it necessary to install the cemetery. During the search for the cemetery installation area, ten areas were explored in 7 rounds. And as a result, the current location of Dongjak-dong in Seoul was chosen. The cemetery site was confirmed and approved b...

A Day Trip. The Last Spot - Ganwoldo

Do you remember that I had a day trip a couple of weeks ago? I started with Seosan city then visited International Tulip Festival , and in the end, I have been to Ganwoldo. And I will tell you about that beautiful place now. About Ganwoldo Ganwoldo is an island with an area of 0.88 km2, a coastline of 11 km, and a highest point of 70m. And it belongs to Seosan city. It was a small island located in Cheonsu Bay, but it is now land, not the sea, due to a large-scale reclamation project in 1984. First of all, there is an amazing view. Despite on wind, I enjoyed each minute spent there. One of the main attractions here is a Ganwolam Welcome to Ganwolam If you go to Ganwol-do, you can meet a mysterious and beautiful hermitage floating on the water. There is a baby island in Ganwol-do. This little island is open twice a day at high tide and low tide, about 30m long, and becomes an island and land.

Korean language courses in Korea

Travelling around is always awesome, and is full of positive emotions and memories. But during travel, we usually face different issues related to the foreign language. And today we will talk about South Korea and the Korean language. I started to study the Korean language in 2009 when I received a scholarship from Korean Foundation. My first language course was at Hanyang University. It was a short intensive program. The scholarship covered everything, except travel expenses. But still, it was a pretty good deal. The course duration is 3 weeks. A little bit of Korean language… Hangugo (한국어)— Korean language. Hanguk (한국)— Korea, Suffix ‘-o’ (-어) means ‘language’ During the courses, we stayed in the dormitory. There were 2 students in one room. The room was pretty wide: 2 tables, 2 beds, 2 wardrobes, toilet and shower room, etc. The classes were in another building. In order to get there from the dormitory, we could take a subway or free shuttle bus (about 15mins), or just walk (about 3...
