The Abraham Park Kenneth Vine Collection

Template:Infobox Korean museum The Abaham Park Kenneth Vine Collection is a museum in Oryu-dong, Guro-gu, Seoul, South Korea. It is also known as the Pyung Kang Biblical Archaeology Museum.

History

By God's grace, this privately owned museum opened for public viewing in November 1998. Dr. Kenneth Vine is an American Biblical archaelogist and is the donor of the artefacts in the museum. He had planned to give the collection to his only son, who unfortunately passed on in a car accident. Dr. Vine then donated the collection to Reverend Abraham Park. Together, they started this museum beside the Pyungkang Cheil Presbyterian Church which was founded by Reverend Abraham Park.

The Abraham Park Kenneth Vine Collection

Spanning thousands of years worth of history, the Pyung Kang Biblical Archaeology Museum merges the worlds of archaeology and religion together in an excellent collection of Egyptian and Middle Eastern artifacts. With objects dating as far back as 6,000 years ago, it's one of the few places in Korea to see such wonders as part of a permanent collection. While the religious will enjoy portions of the Bible come to life and references to Bible verses, most will be fascinated by the intricate details preserved over thousands of years.
