About this place
Paper Art Museum was founded to preserve, exhibit and teach Korea's outstanding paper-folding traditions and paper culture, broaden visitors' opportunities to enjoy culture and art, and encourage paper arts to develop. Paper has been central to the history of technology and information, accompanying the growth of human civilization. Koreans in particular used early papermaking expertise to incorporate paper widely into everyday life. As one of the traditional four treasures of the study, it served writing, but it also finished houses and supplied materials for crafts, becoming both decoration and everyday necessity. This close link with Korean life makes paper arts a strong expression of Korean aesthetics. Recognizing the value of folding and paper culture at the heart of traditional culture, the museum organizes high-quality exhibitions and promotes these arts overseas through international exchanges. Through its works, it seeks to show people worldwide the beauty of Korean aesthetics and the excellence of Korean culture. ✨AI
