Research Activities
Survey of Korean Cultural Assets Held Overseas
We conduct onsite surveys of Korean cultural heritage items held in other countries in order to form an accurate picture of their condition and publish a report based on the relevant academic materials. We provide financial support for the maintenance of items that are in poor condition and arrange onsite exhibitions thereof in an effort to publicize their existence.

This project is divided into onsite surveys, publication of reports, operation of an Internet-based material/information database, provision of support for preservation treatment, etc.
We maintain a list of the cultural heritage items kept by each relevant institution and provide materials on them in an effort to ensure the proper use and management thereof. We publish reports (in both Korean and English) on cultural heritage items surveyed by us in order to provide academic materials to interested parties. We have compiled a database of the list of about 150,000 Korean cultural heritage items both in and outside the country and the results of onsite surveys to help interested parties gain easier access to the relevant information. In addition, we have provided financial support for the preservation treatment of relics kept by fifteen museums since 2005, in an effort to enhance their usefulness.
