Seoul Ourisori Museum

Korea's first museum specializing in folk songs, the Seoul Korean Sori Museum, opened across from Donhwamun at Changdeokgung Palace. It is establishing itself as a resting place where anyone can comfortably enjoy sounds from all over the country, captured by over 20,000 people visiting 904 villages in 139 cities and counties on the Korean Peninsula, the land of folk songs. The Seoul Korean Sound Museum is comprised of a variety of spaces, including a permanent exhibition room, a music appreciation room, a video room, and a Korean sound archive.
The theme exhibition space located on the first floor is a small exhibition space that can be found as you follow the Hanok space, and you can enjoy Korean sound sources and videos on various themes. The music appreciation room is a space that stimulates interest and interest in folk songs among generations who are new to folk songs and foreign tourists, allowing them to enjoy representative folk songs from the eight provinces of the country while feeling the atmosphere of a hanok.
Our Sori Archive, located on the first basement floor, is a space where you can select and listen to our Sori archives through three kiosks, and Our Sori AR is an experience space where you can enjoy our Sori in AR and take photos. The permanent exhibition room divides the theme of ‘Living with our sounds’ into ‘Work and our sounds’, ‘Play and our sounds’, ‘Our sounds of ritual and comfort’, and ‘Inheritance of our sounds’, introducing the daily lives of Koreans who talk about their lives through songs. For each theme, we tried to get closer to citizens by using the latest techniques, such as interactive videos and optical illusion animation models (zoetropes).
There is a record exhibition space on the second basement floor, where you can see various records containing our sound and listen to our sound contained in the records. The video appreciation room is equipped with a large screen that fills one wall of the space, allowing visitors to experience our sounds that blend in with the four beautiful seasons of Korea through an optimal sound appreciation system.
