Kansong Art Museum is Korea's first private art museum. It was opened in 1938 under the name 'Bohwagak (葆華閣)' by Kansong Jeon Hyeong-pil and was reorganized as the Kansong Art Museum in 1966. During the Japanese colonial period, founder Kansong Jeon Hyeong-pil researched and preserved artifacts representative of Korea to widely inform future generations of the excellence and beauty of Korean culture, which was being intentionally devalued and erased for colonial rule. The Kansong Art Museum holds 11 national treasures and 22 treasures.
