Ju-seon donated over 3,300 items to the museum named for her at Dankook University, so it could curate and conserve Korean historical costume.[3] The Seok Juseon Memorial Folk Museum was established in 1981, and combined with the Central Museum in 1999 to form the Seok Juseon Memorial Museum.[citation needed] Pieces from the collection were included in the first full-scale survey on art from the Joseon dynasty to be shown in the United States, Treasures from Korea: Arts and Culture of the Joseon Dynasty, 1392-1910.[6]
Among the pieces Seok Ju-seon collected were cotton fabrics hand-woven according to traditional methods by Kim Man-ae of the village of Saetgol in Naju, South Jeolla province. Kim Man-ae was named a Living Human Treasure in 1969 for her weaving skills and her generous contributions to Seok Ju-seon's research.[7]
