Introduction

The Horim Museum, which opened in 1982, was established based on artifacts and funds donated and contributed by Jang-seop Yoon, chairman of the Seongbo Cultural Foundation. It is said that he began collecting relics to protect and preserve our cultural assets by preventing them from being leaked overseas. First, the Sillim main building opened, and the Shinlim branch opened in June 2009 to provide more people with the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of our cultural heritage. The Horim Museum's new branch and the Horim Art Center are comprised of three lights. Among these, the museum building is shaped like ceramics and has impressive soft curves. The exhibition room is located on the 2nd to 4th floor of the museum building, and special exhibitions are held about 3 to 4 times a year.
