The Christian Museum at Soongsil University today ranks among the few great university museums in Korea. To the Christian community it has become an excellent educational institute that allows people to experience the history of Korean Christianity, including the spontaneous acceptance and creative development of the faith. In terms of its academic activities, the museum has led major projects to unearth many important relics from numerous prehistoric sites, including the Amsa-dong and Yeoksam-dong sites in Seoul in the 1960s, the Seodun-dong site in Suwon in the 1970-80s, and the Misa-ri site in Hanam in the 1980-90s, thus contributing to the development of Korea’s archeological community.

In April 2004, the museum was transferred to its current location and reopened, housing modern exhibition facilities and scientific archives. Since that special occasion, we have striven to ensure the better operation of the museum and promote academic activities. To that end, we published Pictorial Records on the Korean Christian Museum in 2004, as well as the Bibliographies of the Ancient Literature Housed in the Museum and the Korean Christian Museum Journal in 2005. We also published the English Pictorial Records of Relics Housed in the Museum in the spring of 2006.
