The Chunghyeon Museum is a museum in Gwangmyeong, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea.
Mission
The Chunghyeon Museum aims to preserve and promote Seonbi culture by displaying artifacts that once belonged to Ori Yi Won-ik (1547-1634), a prime minister during the Joseon Dynasty.[1] The museum emphasizes traditional Korean culture, especially the "loyalty and filial piety from Joseon period Confucianism," and conducts educational programs incorporating museum material.[2]
History
The Chunghyeon Museum is a jongga ("house of the head family")[1] museum, in that it enshrines the former residence of a renowned family member.[2] As the practice of ancestral veneration for a family is continued by the eldest son, this jongga "was founded by Dr. Yi Seunggyu, Yi Won-ik's thirteenth-generation eldest son, and his wife, Ham Geumja," who are also the directors and curators.[2][1]
Exhibits
The museum encompasses an exhibition hall, a shrine, pavilions, and a family cemetery, as well as Yi Won-ik's original house from the late sixteenth century.[2] Items on display include furniture, portraits, writings, and personal items that belonged to or were created by Yi Won-ik.[2]
