[Jeju Museum] The Charming Wild Flower Garden of Banglimwon

Located in the Artists’ Village, in the western region of Jeju, is a museum that primarily collects wild flowers. The name of this museum is the combination of the founder’s surname, Bang, and her husband’s name. The museum displays thousands of foreign and endemic Korean flowers arranged with stones.

In actuality, it is more of a wild flower garden than it is a museum.

The devotion poured in by the director is conspicuous with each piece.

The Banglimwon sits on over 4 acres of land, filled with wild flowers from Korea as well as Europe, Africa, and the Americas. An interesting fact is that during construction of the museum, a small cave was uncovered, and required about 500 men to excavate. Because it is a cave, it’s very cool inside the cave

The Banglimwon has more to show than one might expect. There is a trail that winds through the entire garden.

The Banglimwon is comprised of an indoor and outdoor garden. It may take a while to tour for those who are interested in wild flowers or plants.

The arrangement of each piece is entertaining for children as well. Also, there is an abundance of arrangements that resemble frogs, prompting people to wonder if the director is a frog enthusiast.
