Tradition Inheritance
The Korean traditional house, Gallery No.3, was originally
famed as Young-Hyo Park’s house. He was one of high
ranking officers of the Joseon Dynasty as well as
a king Cheol-Jong’s son-in-law and a creator of national
flag of Korea. Kyung-In Museum of Fine Arts contributed
the original house to Seoul Government to celebrate
the six hundredth anniversary of the capital Seoul.
It was rebuilt as today’s Gallery No.3, since the
original house was moved Nam-San Korean Traditional
house village in 1996.
Designated as a Seoul folklore data No.18 in March,
1997, Young-Hyo Park’s mansion was a typical noble
house and one of 8 gigantic houses in Seoul as well.
The house with a ground of 922.3m² and a floor space
of 254m² is notable for hoary wooden building built
in 1800’s.
The house was used for a Young-Hyo Park’s guest room,
when he wielded power as a king Cheol-Jong’s son-in-law.
However, rest of his house measuring in about 6611.6m²
burned down during Gapsin Coup.
After the Liberation of Korea under Japanese rule,
it was used for various purposes until 1983. Kuem-Hong
Lee finally renovated the house and surroundings,
and began to use the building as Kyung-In Museum’s
gallery.
Using granite as a stereobate, the building maintains
unique quality of traditions of brick figured ventilating
hole under floor and tiled roof frames.
