The Republic of Korea and the UAE set up their year-long Korea-UAE Cultural Dialogue in 2020 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of their diplomatic relations. However, both countries agreed to extend the event until 2021 due to COVID-19 related restrictions on cultural events.
Based on the partnership between Sookmyung Women’s University Museum and Google Arts & Culture, the online exhibition features Korea’s historic embroidery work.
In celebration of UAE-Korean Cultural Dialogue, we invite you to attend the online exhibition "The Past and Present of Korean Embroidery", which will run until 24 June 2021.

The University Museum pointed out that embroidery is an artistic field that has been practised in “our daily lives from a long time ago”. The development of this culture can be traced in each and every item on display.
The exhibition is available in Korean, English, and Arabic. It can be found at www.K-Museum.com
