FOR A LONG TIME, it didn't make any sense to me. The splendid collection of statues and drawings somehow eluded my conscious understanding, but then, standing under this magnificent gallery, I somehow....GOT IT!
This tiny gallery in insadong succeeds in seizing what many large museums in Korea might fail to do. The Korean spirit of being connected to one's past but at the same time growing in the present is what is accurately captured in the paintings and sculptures at the gallery. A girl wearing a hanbok, a traditional korean dress, and exercising on a bench is one of the many paintings that you might see at this exhibition. The deep psychological role that HISTORY plays in the Korean society and culture is one of the key elements of the exhibition.
FINALLY, one can click a FREE photograph with a pretty lady in hanbok at the end of the exhibition tour.
