The complex was established through remodeling buildings constructed in the 1930s and 1940s, and by revamping such landmark buildings as Nippon Yusen Kaisah (Cultural Property No. 248) from the days when Korea first opened its doors to the outside world. The 13 buildings, including studios, library, training center, exhibition and performance halls, that make up Art Platform are expected to develop into a huge street museum in the future, thereby preserving the historical establishments, while displaying the modern interpretation of the past.

In addition, the unearthed models consisted of bowls and plates, as well as porcelain and pots. The colors of the glaze are greenish brown and dark green, opaque and non-glossy, and there are spots on the surface, but this is the component of the glaze. It is believed to have come from the influence of the special structure of the kiln and the firing temperature.
