The Chōsen Folk Art Museum (朝鮮民族美術館, Korean: 조선민족미술관) was a Korean folk art museum in the former royal palace Gyeongbokgung, in Keijō (Seoul), Keiki-dō, Korea, Empire of Japan.

It was established by a number of Japanese people who were interested in Korean culture: the Asakawa brothers and Yanagi Sōetsu.

Yanagi, in the statement, described the museum as a potential way to ease tensions between Korea and Japan.

Yanagi responded to this controversy by claiming it was being used as an anthropological term for past things.

[1] Asakawa Takumi died in 1931, and his brother Noritaka managed the museum in his stead.
