Concept and Composition of Exhibitions

1. Gallery 1 & 2: Legacy of the Silk Road: European Ceramics
◯ Ceramics from Asia and Europe influenced by civilization brought via the Silk Road, a passage that began a new chapter in the history of ceramics.
◯ Separate from the Korean section, which accounts for major part of the KOCEF collection, a collection of tea vessels by Cheon Han-bong is shown. 2. Gallery 3: The New World Ceramics - Americas & Oceania
◯ Culture of the New World in ceramics – America, Oceania, Africa- is seen.
◯ Through the contrast of ceramic sculpture of the US and terra cotta by the aboriginals, the full diversity of ceramic culture is examined.
◯ Special Corner 2: World Aboriginal Potteries 3. Gallery 4_ The World of Teapots
◯ Common knowledge about teapots, the most ordinary item we use everyday, is completely overturned when we see teapots of such varied shapes from all over the world in one place.
