Add Review/Comment

With this traveling exhibit, the Museum of Anthropology examines the artistry that surrounds death in Korean culture. The exhibit features 19th and early 20th century kkoktu used to decorate funeral biers. The pieces are on exhibit outside of Korea for the first time. The colorful figures reflect the realities of village life during this time period, and provide insight about Korean attitudes towards death. This exhibit includes text in English and Korean.
