Moonshin Museum
Changwon City Masan Moonshin Museum of Art is located on the hill of Chusandong, looking over the sea in Masanhappo-gu in Changwon. Well-known sculptor Moon Shin from Masan established the museum which opened in 1994. After 1995 when the founder passed away, the museum had been operated by the bereaved family. In 2003, the family donated the museum to Masan City, which turned it into a municipal museum. With the advent of mega Changwon City (which merged Masan City), the museum was renamed to Changwon City Masan Moonshin Museum of Art. The museum consists of three exhibition halls and outdoor sculpture exhibition area.
