Description:
Kangwon University Museum (henceforth, KWUM) opened on May 1, 1979. Since the opening, KWUM has excavated and collected lots of historic relics and folklore materials. KWUM was officially opened and displayed to the public permanently on October 11, 1985. It had its own building as a museum, repaired it in November 1999, and was reopened expanding its facilities on June 5, 2000.
KWUM houses a wide variety of historic relics from the prehistoric age to today and displayed them. So KWUM plays an important role in spreading historical education to many students and the public. In addition, KWUM displayed the historical materials related to the patriotic soldiers' history in the late Joseon Dynasty and enlightened many people about the patriotic soldiers' history and exact circumstances at that time. Also, KWUM is considered to contribute to supply educational materials about history and restore the Korean traditional culture, because it has made an investigation into various historic relics and published the results of research.
