Jeon Hyeong-pil bildumagileak (Kansong ezizenez ezaguna) 1938an Bohwagak izenarekin sortua, Koreako lehen arte-museo pribatua izan zen. Park Gil-ryong arkitekto moderno aitzindariak eraiki zuen, Japoniaren okupazio kolonialaren garaiko arpilatzeetatik herrialdeko altxorrak babesteko; horien artean daude hogei etxe teiladunen prezioan erositako zeladon-loreontzi bat eta Hunminjeongeum eskuizkribua. Gaur egun, Kansong Art and Culture Foundation-ek kudeatzen du museoa, eta urtean bi erakusketa baino ez ditu eskaintzen publikoarentzat, bietan sarrera ordaindu behar dela. Erakusketa bakoitzak hamabi Altxor Nazional eta dozenaka Altxor biltzen dituen bildumako piezak aurkezten ditu, besteak beste Goryeoko zeladona, Joseon garaiko pintura eta kaligrafia, eta eskultura budista.
