Join us on the museum plaza for an afternoon of Korean fashion! Watch a fashion show of traditional and contemporary designs crafted from paper, highlighting the beauty of traditional Korean design. See costumes that have been recreated based on ancient murals from the Goguryeo era (37 BCE–668 CE) and those inspired by modern-day Korea. After the show, feel and experience Hanji, traditional Korean mulberry paper, which has been recognized as a form of intangible cultural heritage. See how this paper is turned into textiles, including through the process of traditional Korean paper knitting, in a drop-in workshop.
 
This program is offered in collaboration with the Korean Cultural Center in conjunction with their exhibition Paper Past-Present in partnership with the Hanji Development Institute (www.hanjipark.com).
