A considerable volume of Korean cultural heritage is currently found scattered across countries around the world. Depending on the circumstances surrounding their removal from Korea, the retrieval of these cultural properties is sometimes pursued. On August 8th, 8 members of WKIC Seoul Branch got together on one rainy day with eagerness to learn history. It provided us with an opportunity to retrace the journeys that Korean Cultural Heritage have undergone both at home and abroad and gain a new perspective on the efforts to safeguard and share the value of Korean cultural heritage found in locations abroad.
We also enjoyed the special exhibition with signboards of Joseon Dynasty. Quite worthwhile to go on an outing on a rainy and windy day.
