Welcome to Ewha Womans University Natural History Museum!
The museum was
founded on November 20, 1969, as the first natural history
museum in Korea and has since been committed to providing
educational programs on nature for students and the general
public. The museum is devoted to not only doing pure research
in natural history but also collecting, preserving,
exhibiting, and researching various specimens of animals,
plants, insects, minerals, rocks, and fossils. Our special
collections include the specimens of Korean natural monuments,
internationally protected birds, and species that are endemic,
rare, or new. The invaluable specimens, used in natural
history research, are preserved in state-of-the-art storage
equipped with temperature and humidity control system. The
museum’s total number of holding specimens is 5,057 species
and 202,903 items. The museum also continues to take the lead
in applying information technology to the museum database by
developing Cyber Natural History Museum and a web-based
content Korean Natural Monument and Endangered/Preserved
Species.
