From image colour to everyday sound in Seoul

Seoul Craft Museum extracts five representative colours from each collection image so visitors can find matching objects. The Gugak Museum moves from everyday sound to instruments; a Jongno workshop shows how shaped shell decorates a surface.

Your travel story starts with a place.

A place worth remembering

Search the collection by image colour

For each collection image, Seoul Craft Museum’s search identifies five representative colours. Choosing one in the classification view brings up objects linked to it.[1]

Listening comes before instruments

The Gugak Museum places a room of everyday and natural sounds before its instrument gallery. Burning wood is one example on the page, connecting a familiar sound with how visitors can imagine music.[2]

Shell inlay as surface decoration

The workshop description links material and method: shaped mother-of-pearl pieces are inlaid into a surface or glued on top to decorate it.[3]
