The Young Friends Winter Gala: A Royal Affair $275 per person $250 per person for groups of four or more people ($175 is tax deductible) Enjoy live music, cocktails, light fare, dancing, raffle, silent auction, and complimentary parking while viewing Treasures from Korea: Arts and Culture of the Joseon Dynasty, 1392-1910.
This exhibition is the first full-scale survey in the United States to be devoted to art of the celebrated Joseon dynasty (1392-1910), a period that spanned half a millennium and profoundly shaped the culture and identity of Korea today. 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 in Korea and the United States, this exhibition offers a rare opportunity for American audiences to see some of Korea's artistic masterpieces, including a number of national treasures. A variety of themes - kingship and courtly life, Joseon society, ancestral rites, the place of Confucianism and Buddhism, and Joseon in modern times-reflect the philosophy of the dynasty and the historical and cultural dynamics that shaped Korean life during this time.
