The Government-General Museum of Chōsen (Japanese: 朝鮮総督府博物館, Korean: 조선총독부박물관) was a museum in Seoul during the period of Japanese rule. Built in the grounds of Gyeongbokgung Palace for the 1915 Chōsen Industrial Exhibition,[2]: 96 the museum opened on 1 December 1915.[1] The museum did not operate as an independent agency, and the department under which it fell was subject to bureaucratic reorganization.[3] The museum was disestablished in 1945 and its collections transferred to the National Museum of Korea,[2]: 106 which opened on 3 December 1945.[1] In 1998, the museum building was demolished, after it had come to be viewed as a "symbol of colonialism".[4]
