Horim Museum is a museum in Seoul, South Korea. The museum was founded by Yun Jang-seob (윤장섭 尹章燮) who after setting up the Sungbo Cultural Foundation (성보문화재단 成保文化財團) in July 1981 to purchase antiquities, established the Horim Museum in October 1982 at Daechi-dong, Gangnam-gu by leasing one floor of a building. In May 1999 it relocated to Sillim-dong, Gwanak-gu with four main exhibition galleries — the Archaeology Gallery, the Ceramics Gallery, the Metal Art Gallery and the Painting and Book Gallery — and a special gallery and souvenir shop and rooms in total covering about 4,600 square metres.
