Korea has a surprising number of fascinating art galleries and museums. There seems to be a paucity of information available about the Korean arts scene in English, but if you poke around there are some rewarding gems hidden both in the cities and the countryside.
In Seoul, many galleries and antique stores are located in Insadong, a street near the downtown core of Seoul, adjacent to the Chongno neighborhood. This is a great place to have a cup of tea and do your Christmas shopping.
The Kimchi Museum is a must see, the War Museum is another. Take your time when you visit these places. The interest you take in Korean history will be paid back to you tenfold. Trust me.
