Gansong Art Museum, Art museum in Seongbuk-dong, Seoul, South Korea.
The Gansong Art Museum houses permanent exhibitions of Korean paintings, calligraphy, ceramics, and traditional crafts across multiple galleries in a modern building.
Established in 1938 by Jeon Hyeong-pil, this institution became the first privately-owned museum in Korea, protecting cultural properties during the Japanese colonial period.
The museum maintains twelve national treasures, including the Hunminjeongeum manuscript describing the creation of the Korean alphabet system Hangul.
Located at 87-1 Seongbuk-ro, the museum organizes regular exhibitions and educational programs, with current schedules available on their website kansong.org.
