The Daegu Kansong Art Museum has made headlines as one of the "2024 Korea Tourism Stars" in the New Tourist Attractions category.
Located in the vibrant city of Daegu, this museum has quickly become a cultural and artistic landmark, attracting both local and national attention.
With its innovative programs and impressive collection of cultural treasures, the museum is fulfilling its mission to "protect the nation through culture," a philosophy championed by its founder, Kansong Jeon Hyeong-pil.
A Cultural Oasis in Daegu
The Daegu Kansong Art Museum spans three above-ground floors and one basement level, providing ample space to showcase Korea’s rich cultural heritage.
It opened with a grand exhibition titled Yese Dongbo – Together Treasuring the World, which ran from September 3 to December 1.
This inaugural exhibition was a resounding success, drawing approximately 220,000 visitors within three months.
The event featured 97 national treasures and significant cultural assets preserved by Kansong Jeon Hyeong-pil, including
- Hunminjeongeum Haerye : The original manuscript of Explanations and Examples of the Proper Sounds for the Instruction of the People, a cornerstone of Korean linguistics and a UNESCO Memory of the World. This document is celebrated for its pivotal role in the creation of Hangul, Korea’s unique and scientifically advanced writing system.
- Portrait of a Beauty : An iconic painting by Hyewon Shin Yun-bok, celebrated for its delicate portrayal of feminine grace and its ability to capture the social nuances of the Joseon era.
- Hyewon Jeonsincheop : A compilation of works by Shin Yun-bok, showcasing the artist’s mastery in depicting scenes of daily life and the vibrant culture of his time.
- Goryeo Celadon : Featuring a crane and cloud design, this artifact exemplifies the unparalleled craftsmanship and aesthetic refinement of Goryeo-era ceramics, which are globally renowned for their elegance.
- White Porcelain Vase : Decorated with cobalt blue and iron oxide underglaze, this Joseon-era piece highlights the period’s artistic innovation and sophistication in ceramic arts.
The museum’s exhibitions provide an immersive experience that connects visitors with Korea’s artistic and historical legacy.
Each piece on display is accompanied by detailed explanations, enhancing the educational value of the visit.
An Interactive Cultural Experience
One of the museum’s most distinctive features is its Visible Restoration Studio.
This innovative space allows visitors to witness the intricate process of cultural heritage restoration in real time.
Through transparent glass, conservators work meticulously to repair and preserve historical artifacts, offering an intimate look at the behind-the-scenes efforts that sustain Korea’s cultural legacy.
Visitors can also engage directly with conservators by asking questions via a microphone installed near the studio, making this an educational and interactive experience.
This feature has proven particularly popular among families, as children and adults alike gain a deeper appreciation for the importance of cultural preservation.
The studio’s interactive nature bridges the gap between history and modernity, making it a standout attraction within the museum.
A National Draw
The museum’s appeal extends far beyond Daegu. Of the approximately 224,000 visitors during the inaugural exhibition, about 42%, or 93,000 people, came from other regions, including the Seoul metropolitan area (Seoul, Gyeonggi, and Incheon) and cities such as Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam.
This influx of visitors highlights the museum’s ability to attract a diverse audience, showcasing its status as a national cultural hub.
Its strategic location within Daegu, coupled with convenient transportation links, makes it an accessible and appealing destination for tourists from all over the country.
Additionally, the museum has become a catalyst for cultural tourism in Daegu, boosting the local economy and raising the city’s profile as a cultural destination.
