Today, I was able to explore the national museum of Korea because of a small convention that my internship VANK was holding at the museum. Located right by Ichon (이촌) station, it is very easy to get to the museum. In the subway station, the station exit is marked as National Museum of Korea and there is a huge sign which shows that you are heading in the right direction.
At the museum, my internship had me do a presentation in Korean in front of native speakers which was an interesting experience. Being that it was my first time speaking in a big crowd of Korean speakers, I was very nervous and afraid that my Korean might sound awkward or that I would mess up a lot. After the presentation, I had an opportunity to go explore the museum and look at all their different exhibits and artifacts that the museum held. Being that my family was Buddhist, I had a keen interest in the many artifacts and relics that they had that were related to this religion. Also, one of the main displays at the entire museum was the actual crown that one of the kings had worn before. It was made entirely out of gold and looked like a very fragile artifact.
