SEOUL, South Korea, April 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Amorepacific Museum of Art is pleased to present a special exhibition of traditional Korean art, "Beyond Joseon Minhwa," in celebration of Amorepacific's 80th anniversary.

In addition to works inspired by Korean court paintings, the exhibition also includes craftworks—including ceramics, metalwork, woodcraft and textiles—underscoring the influence of Minhwa on decorative arts while offering a glimpse into trends that dominated different eras.
A total of over 100 artworks from 20 institutions and private collections, as well as newly acquired pieces by Amorepacific Museum of Art and rarely seen masterpieces, will be on display. Notably, the museum will unveil "Bookshelves" by Yi Taek-gyun and "Geumgang Mountain" from its collection, in addition to best-known Minhwa works, such as "Tiger and Magpies," "Dragon in Clouds," and "A Fish Transforming into a Dragon (Rising from Obscurity to Fame)." Moreover, visitors will get a chance to see "Ethical Letters from Jeju Island" from the National Maritime Museum of Korea collection, "One Hundred Fans" from the Seoul National University Museum collection, "Lotus Flowers" from a private collection, and "Eight Views of Gwandong" lent by Hengso Museum of Keimyung University.
Accompanying the exhibition is a 400-page exhibition catalogue, featuring high-quality images, essays by 19 contributors and artwork descriptions by 18 scholars. The catalogue provides in-depth insights into Minhwa and its artistic significance, serving as an excellent opportunity to experience the rich diversity and captivating beauty of Minhwa from diverse perspectives.
