Description:
Duksung Women's University Museum started with the opening of a small exhibition room (approximately 130 square feet) on the seventh floor of Pavilion D in the Unni-dong Campus, in May, 1971. The museum moved to the third floor of Household Pavilion in Ssangmun-dong Campus in 1982, which provided total space of approximately 390 sq. ft., accommodating the folklore hall (approx. 169), the ancient art hall (46), a corridor exhibiting modern arts (80) and an archive (63 sq. ft).
The museum currently has 2,344 artifacts, a collection that originally started with some 200 artifacts on the opening date of the museum and reached 1637 in 1986.
The museum is a comprehensive museum preserving archeology data, art works and folk data, and has collected data focusing on women. The University is planning to switch the museum to a Museum of Life Styles in Joseon Era to more effectively use its large collection of folk art works and is in the process of preparing lager exhibition space, with the new museum planned for opening in early 2005.
