In collaboration with the Korea Heritage Service, this exhibition guides visitors on a contemplative journey. Following in the footsteps of Korea’s ancestors who achieved harmony between nature, humanity, and art, it offers a moment of slow reflection amid the rush of modern life. The garden was both a “painting on nature” and a “unique cultural creation shaped by time and place”—a space embodying deep philosophy and symbolism beyond mere beauty. “Mieumwanbo” transcends simple garden appreciation, encompassing an aesthetic process of communing with nature and introspection.
