via Korea Times, 23 November 2022: Korean cultural heritage on display at the National Museum at Bangkok.
The National Museum of Korea (NMK) has unveiled a new digital content-centered Korean art gallery at the National Museum Bangkok in Thailand.
“A New Encounter: Immersive Gallery of Korean Art,” born from the Korean museum’s collaboration with the Thai Ministry of Culture, presents traditional Korean cultural heritage that has been reinterpreted via high-end digital technology, as well as Buddhist sculptures from the two countries.
The exhibition marks the first showcase of Korean cultural assets in the Southeast Asian nation.
The highlight of the show constitutes two 11-minute-long works of immersive digital content, produced based on traditional Buddhist paintings and “uigwe” (official records of the state rites of the Joseon Kingdom), respectively, from the NMK’s collection.
