This museum boasts the world's finest collection of Korean and Chinese ceramics. There are also many bitter Koreans who claim that these pieces were stolen from Korea during the Japanese occupation (WWII). This is probably true, but of course none of that history is mentioned at the museum. Instead, the museum literature praises Mr. Ataka, the main donor/connoisseur.
