On the way home I found out this amusing building on the opposite side of Changgyeonggung.
The exterior of the building is made of doors.

On a walk
Changgyeonggung Palace was a symbol of the Joseon Dynasty, but it lost its supreme status as a royal palace through ' planned destruction' by the Japanese. In 1907, the Japanese began removing most of the palace structures and built a zoo and botanical garden in their place. They also laid a road between the main part of Changgyeonggung and Jongmyo Shrine to sever the symbolic link between them. The Korean government removed the zoo in 1983 and is slowly restoring the palace to its original state.

Yesssss, I saw the installation when I passed there. The colorful walls were enough to catch eye though they were combined with used doors. The creativity was admirable!
Nice photos.:)
