Koryo Museum of Art, Korean art museum in Kita-ku, Japan.
The Koryo Museum of Art houses 1,700 objects, including ceramics, Buddhist art, and folk art across three floors and an underground level in Kyoto.
Founded by Jeong Jo-mun in 1988, the museum emerged from his collection after moving to Japan in 1924 and building success in the pachinko business.
The museum exhibits Goryeo celadons, Joseon white porcelain, and Korean paintings, including the notable work 'Heron' by Kim Myeong-guk with Hayashi Razan's inscription.
Located at 15 Kamino Kishi-cho, the museum opens from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with adult admission at 500 yen and student rates at 400 yen.
This institution stands as the sole museum outside Korea dedicated exclusively to Korean art, featuring collections from Unified Silla to Joseon periods.
