Umigwan

Umigwan (Korean: 우미관; Hanja: 優美館) was a historic movie theater in Gwancheol-dong, Jongno District, Seoul, South Korea.

It was established in 1910 or 1911 by a Japanese person, initially under the name Golden Entertainment Hall (고등연예관; 黃金演藝館).

It showed a significant number of silent short films in its first decade.
