Donation

Your past becomes the present and future of Gyeonggi Province.

Since its establishment in 1996, Gyeonggi Province Museum has remained committed to collecting and conserving various artifacts related to the history and culture of Gyeonggi Province. Donated items go through scientific conservation treatment
and are kept in our safe storage units. Through display and research, their significant values have been shared with many people.
Donations, which account for about half of our current collection, not only served as the impetus for the establishment of the Museum but also play a critical part in our collection. We will continue to strive to acquire, conserve, and pass
down artifacts related to the Province to fulfill our role of a leading museum in Gyeonggi Province. We look forward to your continued interest and participation.
