- In 1964, the University Museum opened on the Humanities and
Social Sciences Campus with five exhibition halls. It quickly
became the hub of Korean studies, archeology, anthropology,
and studies of Confucian culture. Its goal is not merely limited
to exhibitions. The staff of this Museum are actively devoted
to excavating, researching, and collecting historical artifacts
around the country.
- The Museum has a total of 11,142 holdings, which include 3,085
paintings and calligraphy, 5,017 rare books, and 3,340 rare
artifacts. Collections from the prehistoric period contain stone
works as well as earthenware and some bronze works. Well-preserved
artifacts from the Joseon Dynasty provide insight into the era's
culture, especially the life of various social classes.

- Three of Museum's valuable holdings are designated as National
Treasures. The first, one, 'Geonmuk, is an anthology of the original
calligraphy from the late Goryeo (918-1392) to the early Joseon
(1392-1910) and was complied during the Joseon period. The photo-copied
version was published by the University in 1981. The second
one is the Museum's collection of 633 rubbed copies of epigraphy
from stone monuments from across the country, which are valuable
resources for researchers. The third is the collection of traditional
musical instruments used in the special ceremony, Seokchenonjae,
a Confucian Memorial Service.
- The Museum moved into the 600th Anniversary Hall, which was
completed in 1999, and it will endeavor to enhance its role
as a museum of higher education with an emphasis of higher education,
that represents Confucian culture.
