Ho-am Art Museum

The Ho-Am Art Museum (in Korean: 호암미술관) is an art museum in Yongin, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, approximately 40 km south of Seoul.[1] It holds a number of traditional Korean paintings.

The museum was built in 1982 by Samsung and named after their former chairman, Lee Byung-chull. Ho-Am is his pen name which means filling up a space with clear water as lakes do, and being unshakeable as a large rock. It is located in the Everland Resort.[1] The museum includes a re-created Korean traditional garden, known as the Hee Won Garden.
