Don’t miss your last chance to experience the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s stunning special exhibition, Treasures from Korea: Arts and Culture of the Joseon Dynasty, 1392-1910. On view through May 26, 2014, this special exhibition celebrates the artistic achievements of the Joseon dynasty, a line of twenty-seven monarchs that ruled the Korean peninsula for more than five hundred years and left a substantial legacy for modern Korea. A variety of objects—including painted screens, scrolls, calligraphy, furnishings, costumes, accessories, and ritual wares used in ancestral rites and Buddhist worship—explore the roles of king and court, the distinct spheres of men and women in society, and religious beliefs, all underpinned by the ideals of Confucianism. This is the first full-scale American exhibition to be devoted to art of the Joseon dynasty.
Your Funsavers ticket includes admission to this special exhibit as well as full day admission to the museum.
