Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox building Ae Kwan Theater (Шаблон:Korean) is a movie theater in Incheon, South Korea. It is believed to be the oldest movie theater in Korea, having been founded in 1895. It is believed to predate what was widely considered to be the first movie theater, Dansungsa, which was founded in 1907.[1]

Ae Kwan is still in operation,[1] although Dansungsa has since ceased.[2] It is now owned by the AE KWAN Theater Co., Ltd.[3]

The theater formerly went by the names Hyŏmnyulsa and Ch'uk'angsa.

History

According to a book (Шаблон:Korean) from Choe Seong-yeon, the theater was first founded in 1895, during the First Sino-Japanese War, as Hyŏmnyulsa (Шаблон:Korean, not to be confused with Hyŏmnyulsa, which has a different final Hanja character).[4] In 1912, it changed its name to Ch'uk'angsa (Шаблон:Korean).[4] In 1921, it again changed its name to Ae Kwan (Шаблон:Korean), and renovated on October 10, 1927.[5]
