In short

The Korea National University of Heritage is a national university in Buyeo that opened in 2000 as the Korea National School of Cultural Heritage. Its Department of Traditional Arts and Crafts teaches traditional painting (including dancheong), traditional sculpture with metalwork and wooden furniture, traditional ceramics (celadon, buncheong, white porcelain, onggi) with apprenticeship-style teaching linked to intangible heritage holders, and traditional textiles. According to the university's history page, in 2025 the four majors became separate departments within a new College of Arts.
