Jeon Hyeongpil (1906-1962)

Jeon Hyeongpil was a Korean educationist and an art collector who gathered hundreds of Korean cultural assets and had the pen name of Gansong. He is famous for his great achievement to collect 12 national treasures, 10 treasures and 4 cultural assets designated by Seoul metropolitan government.
