Daegu Yangnyeongsi Oriental Medicine Museum sits in the citys old herbal-medicine district, where shops still trade in roots, bark, powders, and remedies. The museum explains the history of the market and the ideas behind Korean traditional medicine.
It is a natural pairing with Seomun Market or a walk through central Daegu. Even if you are skeptical of the medicine, the smells, trade, and continuity of the district make it one of the citys more distinctive cultural corners.
