Chung Young Yang Embroidery Museum

About

The Chung Young Yang Embroidery Museum is a textile museum in Seoul, South Korea. It was founded by Dr. Young Yang Chung and inaugurated in May 2004 by Sookmyung Women's University. It was closed for renovations from December 2017 until 2019, and is running exhibitions as of late 2025. Its exhibits are not limited to Korean embroidery; there are also items from other areas in East Asia (notably Chinese embroidery on imperial robes) and elsewhere.
