The first Western Travel Journal from Korea is called Misokseupyu. This document was written in 1888 (writing in the red box) while Pak Chung Yang was staying in Washington D.C. as the first minister of the Korean Legation.

친구들이 무엇을 보고 있을까요?📖🔍
.
박정양 공사의 관직 활동 내용등을 기록하고 정리한 문집 가운데, 를 보고 있네요. 현재 공사관 3층에 전시되어 있는 는 박정양 초대공사가 현직 전권공사의 입장에서 직접 보고 겪은 미국의 문물과 제도를 체계적으로 정리해 소개한 본격 미국 견문기입니다. 이 책의 본문에서 글이 작성(탈고)된 시점이 1888년이라고 밝히고 있는데, 이는 1889년 탈고된 유길준의 보다 앞섭니다.

January 13th is #koreanamericanday!
.
In May 1882, Joseon Korea signed the Treaty of Peace, Amity, Commerce, and Navigation with the United States, its first treaty with a Western country. This treaty led Joseon Korea to dispatched Bobingsa, the first official Korean delegation to the U.S. in 1883, and later to establish the Korean Legation in Washington D.C. in 1888.
.
Korean American society began to form with the start of Korean immigration to Hawaii in 1903. Korean American Day commemorates the arrival of the first Korean immigrants to the United States and honors the contributions of Korean Americans to the country.
.
#공사관 #기념
.
1월 13일은 미주 한인의 날입니다!
.
1882년 5월 조선은 서양 국가 가운데 처음으로 미국과 수교를 맺기위해 '조미수호통상조약'을 체결했습니다. 조약 체결 후, 1883년 고종은 미국으로 외교사절단 보빙사를 파견하고, 5년 후 1888년에 워싱턴에 주미공사관을 개설하여 독자적인 자주외교의 행보를 이어갔습니다.
.
이후 1903년 하와이 이민을 시작으로 미국 내에 한인사회가 형성되기 시작하였습니다. 미주 한인의 날은 미국사회에 대한 한인들의 기여와 한미 간의 우호증진을 기념하는 날 입니다.

In April 2016, with the restoration well underway, the Legation discovered an unexpected trove of source materials while dismantling the fireplace in the second-floor office.
.
This Christmas and New Year card was made by an American painter, Edith Haworth. The front side of the card was hand painted while nothing written on the back of the card.

약 150년의 역사를 지닌 공사관 건물,
그 가운데 가장 오랫동안 잘 보존된 것은 무엇일까요?

바로 식당 벽 거울의 프레임 입니다! ✨✨
1893년 프랜시스 존스턴이 촬영한 식당의 모습, 2012년 10월 공사관 매입 직후 사진에서도 찾아볼 수 있듯이 공사관 식당 벽의 거울 프레임은 예전의 모습을 그대로 유지하여 지금까지도 식당에 잘 보존되어 있습니다. 2016년의 사진은 페인트 제거 과정 후, 원래의 목재 표면이 그대로 드러난 상태를 보여주고 있습니다.

Standing almost 150 years,
which part of the Korean Legation has been best preserved for a long time?
ㅡ
Ta-da! It's a wooden mirror frame in the dining room. ✨✨
You can recognize the same frame design from the photo by Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1893 and the photo right after the Korean government repurchased the building in October 2012. After the paint removal process in 2016, the natural beauty of the original wood got restored.

지금으로부터 5년 전, 2015년 10월 공사관 복원 및 보수 공사를 시작할 당시 가장 먼저 페인트 제거 공사가 진행되었습니다.
ㅡ
공사관 설립 당시의 원래 상태를 최대한 복원하는 것이 기본 원칙이기에 기존 페인트의 성분이 무엇인지, 몇 켜로 칠해졌는지, 유성페인트인지 혹은 수성페인트인지 등 역사의 켜, 페인트의 성분을 파악하는 것이 중요했습니다. 이 과정 가운데, 페인트가 칠해진 원래의 목재를 보호하는 것과 나무의 특성을 살려내는 것에 중점을 두었습니다.
ㅡ
#Koreanlegation #closing #timemachine #covid
ㅡ
Five years ago, when the Korean Legation restoration project began in October 2015, the first task was removing paint from wood and walls.
ㅡ
The key principle of this restoration project was to restore the original state when the building was constructed as much as possible. It was important for us to understand the composition of the paint, how many layers were applied on top of each other, and whether it is oil-based or water-based paint, etc. During this process, we were carefully considering protecting the original wood finish and enhancing the natural beauty of the wood.

Old Korean Legation in Washington D.C.

The Old Korean Legation Museum is located at Logan Circle in Washington D.C.. It was Korea's first diplomatic office overseas during the Joseon period. It is highly valued for its historical significance because it is the only example of a diplomatic mission that preserves its original 19th century appearance in Washington D.C. today. It is open to the public Tuesday to Sunday, from 10am to 5pm. Admission is free.
