a professor emeritus Kim Hae-Kyung Donates About 200 Artifacts Kim Hae-Kyung, a professor emeritus at Yonsei University College of Human Ecology donated to the museum about 200 precious artifacts such as traditional dresses, wrapping cloth, cabinet, chest, wooden plate, and brass utensils that she has kept all her life. All artifacts were used by Kim herself. The traditional Korean dresses she donated were those worn during her meaningful times when Kim was a newborn, on her first birthday, or on her wedding. Traditional Korean Kka-Kki needlework and various forms of textiles and designs can be observed from these articles. The donations also included artifacts such as cloths used to cover food on tables, wrapping cloths used at weddings, and cloths used daily to prevent food from getting cold that all contributed to a fuller and more elegant Korean boudoir culture. All of these artifacts were handcrafted by Kim’s mother, her mother-in-law, and her Chim-mo (a person dedicated to all needlework in a household). A wide variety of artifacts including furniture and wooden plates belonged to Kim’s mother-in-law and the value in them are priceless in that they reflect the daily lives of women and their Boudoir culture from the late Joseon Dynasty until the period of Japanese colonial rule. Photos of the exterior and interior of the traditional house of the 1930s which she lived in were also donated and are expected to contribute greatly to the three-dimensional restoration of modern space. Her collection also included photos of the University’s cheering squad from the 70s to the 90s. Uniforms worn by the squad in the photos were designed and created by Kim and are still being used today. The school expressed great thanks to Kim during the donation ceremony held in the President’s office on December 23rd, 2011.
