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]
