Zenana props
This exhibition hall features a diverse array of artifacts and information relating to the history of clothing, one of life’s basic necessities. The displayed items range from ancient times to the present, and highlight the regional characteristics of Daegu, which evolved into a modern city thanks in large part to its thriving textile industry. Visitors are guided through four thematic stages in the production of clothing—threads, textiles, colors, and clothing—thus allowing them to appreciate the beauty of traditional Korean clothing and to examine various designs.

In Korea, the seven basic items used in sewing (i.e. needle, ruler, scissors, small iron, larger iron, thread, and thimble) have long been regarded as essential items for every housewife. Simple though they may seem, the skills of cloth cutting, sewing, and embroidery require many years of apprenticeship and experience. The ladies’ living room was a place where young girls learned how to make clothes or run the household economy from their mother and grandmother.
