Among the exhibits are commoners' jackets and trousers, generals' uniforms, armors and others, which date back to the periods of Koguryo Kingdom (B.C. 277-A.D. 668), Koryo Kingdom (918-1392) and Feudal Joson Dynasty (1392-1910).

The visitors are deeply impressed to see the wax replica of Ri Sun Sin (1545-1598), a famous patriotic general, in a military uniform.

Ri Mi Hwa, chief of the Traditional Costume Workshop in the museum, told KCNA that those men's costumes on display give a glimpse of the history of development of national costumes.
