Buncheong Ware and White Porcelain Gallery (3F)

Jun-25-2024 ~ Jun-22-2025

Around 1467, the Joseon royal family installed a government kiln in Gwangju, Gyeonggi-do to create white porcelain ware for royal use. From its establishment until 1883, the kiln was relocated within the Gwangju area about every 10 years, which was to transfer the kiln to an area with abundant trees seeking better access to firewood. The kiln in Geumsa-ri operated from 1734 to 1751. The kiln is renowned for the production of white porcelains, whose whiteness resembles milk, and moon jars.
