Exploring Modern Happiness in Tradition: Wishing for Blessings at the Gyeonggi Provincial Museum

This afternoon, I visited the special exhibition 'Wishing for Blessings' at the Gyeonggi Provincial Museum and delved into the ways Koreans pursue happiness! The collection of Joseon Dynasty lucky pouches at the entrance caught my eye with their vibrant colors and patterns, and the decorations with the Eight Blessings pattern revealed the ancestors' wishes for blessings! The VR lucky pouch design experience showcased a remarkable blend of tradition and modern technology! 📌 Points for Solo Travelers Recommended Experience: Making Your Own Lucky Pouch → Create uniquely with traditional pattern stamps (20 minutes, 5,000 KRW) Hidden Spot: 'Well of Fortune' on Basement Level 1 → Toss a coin and check your digital fortune (bring your own coin) Snack Recommendation: Museum Cafe 'Blessing Cafe' (6,500 KRW) → Peach-shaped rice cake and jujube tea set 🚨 Notes Lucky pouch experience ends at 4:30 PM (may end early if materials run out) Well experience is limited to 2 times per person, coins can be purchased on-site if not brought (500 KRW each) Jujube tea is hot, so cooling time is needed The lucky pouch with 'Exam Pass' inscription I made at the experience zone became a precious souvenir.. Wishing for success.. The AR lucky pouch hanging experience was also fun as I virtually hung blessings. At the end of the exhibition, I reflected on the ancestors' philosophy about fate while looking at the old fortune-telling signboards! I want to visit again next time!
