The Korean Embroidery Museum is housed in a tiny one-room space. Displayed in it are about 1000 works of embroidery by women from the Joseon Period (1392-1910). The embroidery or “Chasu” are found in various form from clothes to toys. Back in the days, the women used needles made out of bones of fish or animals to sew and weave animal skins, tree barks and leaves.
