Ebook Explore Korea: A Visit to Grandfather’s House
Explore Korea: A Visit to Grandfather’s House is the first interactive exhibition for young children and families at the Seattle Asian Art Museum. Visitors will take a journey to explore the daily lifestyle of a Korean family in Grandfather’s time. The exhibition features an architectural setting based on a traditional Korean house, a display of Korean folk art, a mural by Seattle-area Korean-American artists, a videotape, and an art workshop space.
Upon passing through the gateway of the wall around the courtyard area, visitors can explore the house exterior and view the videotaped story of a Korean-American family preparing to visit Grandfather in Korea. After removing their shoes, young visitors will be able to go inside the various rooms of the house to discover various objects and explore what activities take place there. Children are invited to try on traditional clothing, practice calligraphy, play a board game, and do some imaginary cooking in the kitchen! In the adjacent art workshop space, children ages five to ten will also be able to take part in a related craft activity and create an item inspired by the exhibition to take home.
This exhibition has been made possible by a generous grant from the Korea Foundation. Additional support has been provided by PONCHO, the Nesholm Family Foundation, Seattle Art Museum Supporters (SAMS), King County Arts Commission and from a Seattle Public Schools World Language, Culture, and International Education Programs federal grant. Study in Korea by Museum staff for this project was made possible by the Korea Society and the Korea Foundation.
