Seokbong Ceramic Museum
The Seokbong Ceramic Museum is a ceramics museum in Sokcho, South Korea.
The museum was opened in October 1997 by the ceramist Master Seokbong Jo Moo-ho aka Cho Mohu (b. 1941) (석봉 조무호).[1] The name of the museum comes from his pen name Seokbong.[2] The exterior of the museum is in the form of the typical two-story Korean building. Its walls are decorated with ceramic paintings. The museum displays various ceramic artworks, including a painting of the Baekdu Mountain, one of Korea's largest mountains. Facilities at the museum include a demonstration room, international pavilion, and model pavilion. There is an outdoor stage in the garden to the rear of the museum.
Master Seokbong Jo Moo-ho pioneered ceramic painting (porcelain art) by combining ceramics and art for the first time in Korea.[3] The museum contains several of his landscape works as well as a set of extremely large plates 120 cm in diameter (47 inches) known as the four seasons which took 14 years to complete.
Address: 156 EXPO-ro, Sokcho-si, Gangwon-do, South Korea.
