It has been over 120 years since the invention of the projector (Kinetoscope), one of the historically greatest benefits on mankind by the “King of Inventions”, Thomas Alva Edison.
Edison’s projector has had a remarkable growth starting from motion pictures to today’s 3D digital film industry. The Son Sung mok Film Museum is an exhibition hall where one can watch, listen and feel this 120-year film history.
The Son Sungmok Film Museum is the world’s leading specialized film expert museum exhibiting more than 15,000 rare artifacts such as projectors and movie cameras and 20,000 film-related auxiliary materials, all collected by its founder, President Son Sungmok, from 30 countries all over the world for 55 long years. The film museum is a harmonious triune of the themes of Edison’s inventions- light, sound and image.
Our museum would like to offer visitors a variety of things to see by replacing more than 30% of the exhibits every year under the slogan ‘The Changing Museum’.
These days, the meccas of the movie industry, America, as well as the advanced countries of Europe, have a large number of film museums. However, people who have visited famous film museums abroad would fully recongnize the fact that they are inomparable to the Son Sungmok Film Museum in all aspects, when it comes to quality or quantity of the exhibits.
The Son Sungmok Film Museum deviates from the usual simple viewing of museums.
Visitors will have the chance to see, hear and feel and experience the real essence of films with this living museum. This place where the film’s past, present and future coexist is going to be the world’s best museum.
(You can watch classic movies and listen to movie soundtracks in the Composite Arts Hall.)
Furthermore, Son Sungmok Film Museum will take duty as the cradle of Composite Arts by holding workshops and seminars to be hosted by both domestic and foreign movie men, and by conducting personal interchanges of film professionals, and of course music and film festival as well as theatrical performances for our visitors.
The SonSungmok Film Museum is located in Gangneung, the hometown of art in Korea, by a lake that has a deep history. We wish that you enjoy all the memories and nostalgias of films.
