Hye-Jung Museum - Old Maps
Kyun Hee University

Description:
As the Korea's first museum to solely specialize in old maps, Hye-Jung Museum opened on Kyung Hee's Global campus located south of Seoul on May 17, 2005. The 3300-square-meter-museum features some 130 old, western maps, documents and other historical records from the 15th and the 20th century, in reference to the Korean peninsula. It also displays about 10 old maps from Korea. The political changes taking place over the years on the peninsula are reflected in the maps' geographical boundaries and place names.
