Metropolitan Museum Exhibition Page — "Diamond Mountains: Travel and Nostalgia in Korean Art" (2018)

The Met's official exhibition page for "Diamond Mountains: Travel and Nostalgia in Korean Art" (February 7 – May 20, 2018), marking the 20th anniversary of The Met's Arts of Korea Gallery and coinciding with South Korea's hosting of the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics. Nearly thirty works depicting Mt. Geumgang from the eighteenth century to the present, including a designated National Treasure album by Jeong Seon (1676–1759) on loan from the National Museum of Korea — most never before displayed in the U.S. Shin Jang-sik featured as a contemporary contributor with Winter Mt. Geumgang and Light of Manmulsang. Two official Met videos embedded — the exhibition introduction and the Sunday at The Met lecture on "Landscapes: Real and Imagined." Organized in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (MCST) and the National Museum of Korea (NMK). The New York Times called it "a melancholy beauty of a show ... flabbergasting loans."
