This ”modern house” (Munhwa Jutaek) built in the 1930s features a modern structure combined with a traditional under-floor heating system known as ”ondol”.
The house was originally built by notorious pro-Japanese collaborator Yun Deok-yeong (1873-1940) for his daughter, but today is largely known as the residence of Pak No-su (1927-2013), one of the greatest Korean artists of our times who lived in the house for about forty years.
The first story of the house is made largely of brick, while the second story is made of wood. Featuring a sitting room complete with a fireplace, the house also boasts a traditional wood-floored hall, and a Western-style kitchen.
The house still retains its original tiled floor and paneled porch walls, which enclose a wood-floored veranda. The sitting room has, in addition to the fireplace, two pairs of hinged doors connecting the sitting room to the master bedroom, also known as the traditional anbang ("inner room"). The second-story room retains the original features of the artist's workroom.
The house was purchased by the Jongno-gu Administration on November 11, 2011 and is currently used as the Municipal Pak No-su Art Museum/Jongno Art Museum.
Jongno Art Museum is designated as Cultural Material of Seoul #1
