Corporate History

인쇄
Overseas Korea Cultural Heritage Research Institute Corp.is a corporation established to collaborate with Gyeongsangbuk-do Province in bringing back countless cultural heritage filled with our ancestors' lively breath that was carried out abroad in Korea's periods of crisis, including the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592.
We are engaged in diverse projects to recover cultural sovereignty through the retrieval of cultural assets scattered overseas, and in particular, are doing our best to progress cultural heritage retrieval into a pan-national movement.
