On September 18, in celebration of Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving Day), 30 students from KORE 101 and KORE 201 classes visited the Cleveland Museum of Art. Students explored two exhibitions: “Korean Couture: Generations of Revolution” and “Into the Seven Jeweled Mountain: An Immersive Experience.”

The “Korean Couture” exhibition showcased the history and transformative legacy of Korean fashion, featuring approximately 30 garments from 17th-century aristocratic attire to contemporary couture by modern Korean designers. After exploring the evolution of Korean fashion, students were immersed in “Into the Seven Jeweled Mountain,” a digital experience inspired by a 19th-century folding screen illustrating the mountain’s striking scenery.

Through these exhibitions, students gained a deeper appreciation for Korea’s rich artistic heritage while exploring the innovative ways in which history, art, and digital technology come together to celebrate Korean culture.

Afterward, the students viewed objects in the Korean art gallery, including landscape paintings from the Joseon Dynasty, celadons from the Goryeo Dynasty, and other notable collections.​​​
