This week on Jeju: A to Z, Todd Thacker takes a brief look at the activities Jeju National Museum is offering visitors over the upcoming Chuseok festival, one of Korea’s major national holidays.

Nearly a quarter of a million people will be visiting Jeju during Chuseok, the traditional autumn harvest festival which this year is from Sept. 26th to the 28th. Many islanders will be returning home to honor their ancestors, while others will come as tourists.

Chuseok is traditionally a time when farmers would be able to relax after a long summer toiling in the fields. The thanksgiving holiday would allow them to enjoy the fruits of their labor.

In keeping with this tradition, Jeju National Museum -- one of the island’s oldest and most representative museums -- will offer a wide range of hands-on cultural events and activities for the whole family.

The curators have designed this three-day event to help both domestic and international visitors to understand and appreciate traditional Chuseok customs, as well as to enjoy a pleasant day at the museum.

Traditional games, food, activities

Activities include centuries-old games such as Korean shuttlecock kicking, tuho arrow throwing, top spinning, and more. Food is also a big part of Chuseok. Visitors can wield a giant mallet and pound rice in the traditional rice cake making event.
