About

The National Museum of Korea Traditional Dye Plant Garden lies in the museum's back garden and helps keep Korea's traditional dyeing culture alive. The National Museum of Korea created the garden to revive traditional dyeing culture and enrich weary hearts by planting and tending the dye plants Korean ancestors used to create their colors. A variety of historically researched dye plants and landscape trees are planted together, making it an educational place where visitors learn about the plants used in traditional dyeing. The garden is a chance to connect with nature, understand Korean traditions and enjoy the beauty of dye plants. It also deepens understanding of traditional culture and lets visitors experience the history and process of dyeing. In spring, the plum blossoms are in full bloom, and the garden is known as a hidden photo spot.
