Korean Funerary Figures Exhibition

on Wed, 11 Jul 2012

A compelling exhibition that showcases a traditional funeral bier along with the wooden figures of a variety of people, including carers, guides, acrobats and noblemen, as well as mythological creates that each served as decorations for the funeral bier. With their bright colours, gaiety and laughter the wooden figures explore both Korea’s optimism towards life as well as a unique aspect of Korean folklore. This summer exhibition forms part of All Eyes On Korea, 100 Day Festival of Korean Culture.

Date: 11 July – 8 September 2012
Venue: Korean Cultural Centre UK, Grand Buildings, 1-3 Strand, London WC2N 5BW
