History

The museum first opened its doors to the public in November 1998. Dr Kenneth Vine initially planned on giving his collection to his only son however, when his son died in a car accident he donated his collection of artefacts to the founder of Pyungkang Cheil Presbyterian Church, Rev. Abraham Yoon-sik Park and together they established The Abraham Park Kenneth Vine Collection next to Pyungkang Cheil Presbyterian Church.

Exhibiting thousands of years of history, The Abraham Park Kenneth Vine Collection merges the world of archaeology and religion together in a collection of Egyptian and Middle Eastern artifacts. With objects dating back to 6,000 years, it is one of the few places in Korea where such artifacts are on display as part of a permanent collection.[3]

gollark: As far as I know it's something like ~~0.5% efficiency~~ (correction: wikipedia says ~5%) and the main advantage of photosynthesis is just that it produces convenient storable chemical energy as output.
gollark: I have a fun diagram too!
gollark: They don't *do* much, though, and you can't really change behavior to avoid it, and it's mostly irrelevant.
