Ilmin Museum of Art is a private art museum of South Korea, located on Sejongno street in Jongno-gu, a central district of Seoul, known for exhibiting mainly Korean art. The museum was established and run by the Ilmin Cultural Foundation (일민문화재단), a non-profit organization founded in 1994 in memory of Kim Sang-man (김상만 金相万 1910 ~ 1994), former president of Dong-A Ilbo,[2] one of the major newspaper companies of South Korea. Kim devoted his entire life to developing Korean journalism and promoting Korean culture.[1][3] The museum is named after his pen name, "Ilmin" (일민 一民, literally "one people").
