Description:
The University Museum has been placed on a firm basis since the late founder, Dr. Sanguine You, donated a total of 100 items from his own family treasure. The current Museum opened on March 5, 1979, and elevated its status by joining the Korea University Museum Association on May 10th of that year. It has played an instrumental role in inter-collegiate museum exchange programs and will continue to preserve and develop archeological history, traditional art, and natural history.
The university Museum has been a benefactor of the local community, serving as a cultural and educational resource. In addition, the Museum excavated many cultural remain, such as a group of dolmen in the Sunbudong area. The University Museum owns about 4600 items. These objects cover the pro-history period to modern times. Some of the White porcelains and Koryo celadons are very rare and art history.
