Ten German museums with Korean collections have come together to do a travelling exhibition titled 'Korea Rediscovered ! Treasures from German Museums'.
A project initiated by the Korean Foundation, this exhibition features outstanding Korean artefacts from German museum collections, many of which have very seldom been put on public display. Each museum curates the same collection of objects based on their own concept. The main focus in the GRASSI Museum of Ethnology in Leipzig will be the mediation of the intellectual, social and aesthetic aspects of traditional Korean culture. Another theme in the exhibition in Leipzig will focus on the relations between Korea and Germany established in the 19th century. Insights in the eventful history of the Peninsula of Japan will be given as well as the multifaceted contacts and cultural relationships that connected Korea with other parts of Asia.
The GRASSI Museum of Ethnology in Leipzig will be the second location after the inaugural exhibition in the Museum of East Asian Art in Cologne . The exhibition will then travel to Frankfurt/Main and Stuttgart.
