El búho es considerado como un animal símbolo de la sabiduría. En los cuentos infantiles, muchas veces se ven a búhos con gafas y libros en sus alas. El museo está diseñado al estilo clásico, como una cafetería, y expone obras artísticas, artesanías, etc., alrededor de 2.000 piezas relacionadas con los búhos. Dichos artículos fueron coleccionados durante 30 años, recorriendo varios lugares del mundo, por Bae Myeong-hui (madre de los búhos), quien es la directora del museo.
Es un espacio peculiar, que fue reconstruido sobre una antigua casa, y los visitantes son recibidos calurosamente por la madre de los búhos, que también les sirve café o té. Al estar ubicado cerca del centro de la ciudad, es ideal para aquellos que deseen disfrutar un momento especial, observando las artesanías y obras artísticas.

Waryonggongwon-gil 192, Jongno-gu, Seúl.
Es un parque inaugurado en el año 1984, que se encuentra ubicado en el barrio de Myeongnyung-dong, distrito de Jongno-gu, Seúl. Lo encontrará bajando desde la roca Malbawi, por el camino de la Muralla de Seúl. En sus cercanías están ubicados los parques: Samcheong, Changgyeong, y el Parque Natural del Monte Bugaksan. Presenta la forma de un dragón acostado, que es de donde proviene el nombre “Waryong” (significa dragón acostado según los caracteres chinos).
La poca profundidad de tierra que tenía el parque dificultaba la forestación, por lo que solo disponía de algunas acacias. Pero mediante la participación de los ciudadanos en una campaña de plantar mil árboles, se ha logrado convertirlo en un parque verde y abundante.
En particular, en la época primaveral se cubre de flores de todo tipo: de la colza, del albaricoque, de la azalea, de la forsitia, etc., y consta de instalaciones deportivas como campo de bádminton, centro de aeróbics y gimnasio, entre otros.
