FOREWORD
Korea's cultural properties represent a precious inheritance conveying the inrelligcnce. senriment and creativiry of our forefathers and serve as vital links between our nation'5 pasę, present and furure.
Just before and during the early part of this cencury, many of thcse pnccles5 objears iv er-: taken abroad under various circumstances and through different channels.
When one carefully observes rhe actual state of displays in museums ovetseas, ont: rc^An-i that, in manv instances, limited knowledge of Koreafs cuttural properties allow; for unintenrional, yet scrious errors in presenting chese artefacts to the public. In addition, Mys.ni; research herc in this country on these overseas collections further exacerbates the situacinn. In an attempt to remedy this problem, sińce 1986, our Society has dispatched a tearn c-i museum specialists to study the actual state of these displays and to help provide professional advise on che presentation of the artefacts.
During 1986 and 1987 Mr. Ye Yong Hae, Commissioner of Cultural Properties, and Mr. Chung Yang Mo, Chief Curator of the National Museum of Korea and Professor Kim Kwang On, Direccor of che University Museum at Inha University visited a total of 21 museums in the United States. Due to the kind cooperation of the museums involved with this program, their survey of Korean cultural properties housed in those U.S. museums has already been completed. Presented in this report, then, are tbe results of this program.
Intended as a report on the implemenrarion of one of our cultural programs, this publication will not be available to the generał public or distnbuted for commercial purposes. The sole aim of publishing this report is to provide museum specialists at home and abroad with information on the Korean collection of each of tbe museums, so that they can share information with one another and explore possibilities of mutual cooperation in the exchange of exhibitions.
I sincerely hope that this smali step will help to enhance interesu overseas in Korean artefacts and encourage further research.
We will continue to expand this program in order to help all individuals concerned correctly undersrand our nationfs cultural heritage.
Finally, we wish to thank all the people involved who spent councless hours helping to make this project a success, and we especially wish to thank those who have given us permission to use the pictures of the artefacts housed in their museums.
Kim Seong-jin President
