About ‘Kimchikan(間)’
of Museum Kimchikan

In traditional Korean society, the place for making side dishes was called ‘Chankan’, the place for preparing the king’s meals was ‘Surakan’ and the place for keeping foodstuffs was called ‘Gotkan’.
We took the suffix ‘Kan’ from these words and created the name ‘Kimchikan’ in the hope that the museum will display diverse aspects and stories of Kimchi and enable visitors to feel, experience, and enjoy it.
