Exploring the China Room at the National Museum of Korea

🇨🇳 China Room: Art Blossoming from the Yellow River 📍 Location: World Culture Gallery, China Room (Permanent Exhibition Hall, 3rd Floor) 🎨 Highlights: The China Room, themed 'Art Blossoming from the Yellow River,' showcases Chinese culture from ancient times to the Ming and Qing dynasties. Exhibits such as ancient bronzeware, jade artifacts, pottery figurines, and Buddhist flying statues reflect religious beliefs and spirituality. Lacquerware and ceramics highlight the pinnacle of craftsmanship, while landscape paintings, bird-and-flower paintings, and portraits from the Ming and Qing dynasties reveal the vibrant world of Chinese art. A recreated Qing scholar's study and media art bring the aesthetics of the era to life. Other key themes include the export of ceramics (Tang Dynasty to Islamic regions) and exchanges with Europe via maritime routes in the 16th century. • Highlighted Artifacts: Statue of a figure holding a falcon (Qing Dynasty), Tang Sancai ceramics. 📸 Photo Spots: Recreated Qing scholar's study and landscape painting backdrop! ✨ Appeal: This exhibition offers a condensed view of China's vast history and art across different eras. The traces of East-West exchanges are particularly fascinating.
