Quirky Museums in Seoul...

On March 26 and 27 LeeAnne spent some time in Seoul with her friends Sarah and Emily. On Saturday the trio went on a hunt for quirky museums and it wasn't hard to find some very unique establishments. Our first stop was the Tteok Museum which featured two floors of exhibits about the making of traditional Korean rice cakes, complete with a Tteok cafe on the first floor. Stop #2 was, of all things, the Museum of Chicken Art. Indeed, the first floor of the museum was jammed with chicken "art" from all around the world and the second floor of the museum explained how chickens were important symbolic animals in traditional Korean funerals (the chicken is the only animal of the Chinese zodiac with wings; hence, the belief was that it was connected to the afterlife and spiritual realm). The third stop was the Gallery of Sewing Art. Very quirky. It was a great time exploring Seoul and spending time with good friends.
