A traditional art that is still alive
In Gangjin, Korea Minhwa Museum introduces minhwa, Korean folk painting. These pictures often expressed everyday wishes for longevity, good fortune and a flourishing family. The museum's exhibits and contemporary displays invite visitors to see how these visual traditions continue to change.
Two galleries, two ways of looking
The museum lists the 12th Korea Minhwa Competition Winners' Special Exhibition in its second-floor special exhibition gallery from August 29 to November 29, 2026. Look for recognizable subjects and notice how each artist handles color, composition and traditional motifs.
In the second-floor Gallery Core, Ahn Mi-hyeon's invited exhibition 'Stories Hidden Among Flowers' is announced for October 1 to December 31, 2026. Rather than assuming what every artwork depicts, visit the gallery and compare its approach with the prize-winning works.
