Studying the label of a jar of excellent kimchi yesterday, I discovered that there was a kimchi museum in Seoul. From the Wikipedia page:
(#1) A plate of kimchi (the foodstuff is not particularly photogenic)Museum Kimchikan, formerly Kimchi Museum, is a museum dedicated to kimchi; one of the staples of Korean cuisine. Exhibits focus on the food’s history, its many historical and regional varieties, and its importance to Korean culture and cuisine. The museum collects data and statistics on kimchi and regularly offers activities for visitors, such as demonstrations of the kimchi-making process, kimchi tastings, and cooking classes.
