Comprised of more than 150 works drawn primarily from the National Museum of Korea’s collection and supplemented by objects from public and private collections, Treasures from Korea presents American audiences with a rare opportunity to see some of Korea’s artistic masterpieces, including a number designated as national treasures. The exhibition includes interactive displays of select objects, a free audio tour, and a family guide. In addition, a broad range of programs such as film screenings, family celebrations, performances, lectures, and dining events are offered throughout the run of the exhibition.

The exhibition is organized by the National Museum of Korea, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. Treasures from Korea represents one of two international exhibitions that are part of a collaborative exchange between the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the National Museum of Korea (NMK), the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (MFAH), and the Terra Foundation for American Art. In early 2013, Art Across America, featuring some of the finest examples of American art drawn from the collections of the four US museums, traveled to the NMK in Seoul and the Daejeon Museum of Art. In addition to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Treasures from Korea will be on view at LACMA (June 29–September 28, 2014) and MFAH (November 2, 2014–January 11, 2015).Sponsors
