Before the 19th century, most paintings were based on historical, political, mythological and religious themes due to the influence of social and religious environments. However, after entering the 19th century, with the advancement of the Industrial Revolution and urbanization, the growth of the middle class allowed people to have more financial resources and began to enjoy various leisure activities. Impressionist painters came into being and depicted the daily lives and leisure time of these people on canvas. Breaking away from the academic style that dominated the art world at the time, the Impressionist painters were no longer confined to the studio, but turned their attention to nature where they could fully experience light, color and air. They particularly like to vividly depict Parisians enjoying their daily romance and leisure through scenes such as picnics, boating, sunbathing, cafes, streets and gardens. The media exhibition "Holiday in Paris: Holiday in Paris" reinterprets the works of French Impressionist representative painters Auguste Renoir, Edouard Manet, Georges Seurat and Gustave Caillebotte through immersive digital media art, and through interactive elements, it makes the audience feel as if they have traveled back to 19th century Paris and become the protagonists enjoying leisure in Impressionist works. Philosopher Hegel once said: "Rest is the most precious thing in the world." It is a great pleasure for human beings to have peace of mind, temporarily get rid of physical and mental fatigue, and enjoy their own rest time. For those modern people who are tired of endless life and work, entering the exhibition hall, immersing themselves in the works of representative painters of Impressionism, and feeling the romance and leisure of Paris will be an impulse to get rid of physical and mental fatigue. We hope that the Paris scenery against the backdrop of the Seine River, the leisurely boating scenes and the sunbathing scenes on the grass reproduced through immersive media art can provide modern people with an excellent space to temporarily escape from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy a rest.

Henri de Toulouse Lautrec was an artist from a French aristocratic family, known for his unique, charming and provocative handwriting lithographs of Parisian nightlife during the Belle Époque. As a painter, printmaker and illustrator, he did not belong to a specific school, but absorbed the diversity of the Art Nouveau in Montmartre, the avant-garde center of the time, and pioneered original shapes. Modern graphic posters, he is considered one of the greatest artists in the history of world art. This exhibition seeks to break away from the previous tendency to emphasize Lautrec's psychological defects and unfortunate life, and examine his art from a new perspective. I want to emphasize his freedom to interact with people despite his physical disability, his bohemian experimental spirit that did not belong to any school and freely accepted the Art Nouveau, and especially his humanistic spirit of observing the beauty behind charm and vulgarity. This exhibition explores the extraordinary nature of the art created by Toulouse-Lautrec, combining the vitality of the fin de siècle with humanism, exhibiting his monumental and fascinating works created in Montmartre, as well as posters that led the golden age of contemporary French Art Nouveau. Together with Lautrec, 159 masterpieces of prints by 13 artists, including Alphonse Mucha, are exhibited. The first part, "Bohemia," explores Lautrec's bohemian experimental spirit, who freely embraced various artistic trends and did not belong to any school of painting. The second part, "Humanists," examines Lautrec's human-centered paintings, which depict the lower classes of Montmartre with extraordinary humanity and emphasize his humanistic aspects. The third part, "Stars of Montmartre," consists of works from the second half of his creative career, highlighting his artistic legacy that continues to this day. The final chapter, "French Art Nouveau Posters," showcases the works of 13 artists who were contemporaries of Lautrec and dominated the golden age of French Art Nouveau poster art. It will be an interesting opportunity to compare their works, which have in common with Lautrec's in that they follow the lithographic medium and Art Nouveau trends, but also stand out from Lautrec's art with their own aesthetic consciousness.

In Exhibition Room 2, the duo will install a to-scale public pool emptied of water. This melancholic image—a recurring motif in their oeuvre—suggests the decline of civic gathering spaces and the subsequent loss of community. Finally, visitors will encounter a restaurant named The Cloud. Seemingly caught between its opening hours, the space will be empty except for a lifelike figure of a young woman in the middle of a FaceTime conversation. Other installations will include an industrial kitchen that is reminiscent of a laboratory and an artist ’s studio.

They reflect the ardent aspirations of the people of the time and offer visitors an opportunity to appreciate these priceless works. According to the votive inscription in the sutra, it was dedicated with utmost devotion in the first year of the reign of King Chungmok (1345) of the Goryeo Dynasty by a noblewoman of the highest rank. By means of the merit derived from this work, she hoped to ensure the royal family’s well-being and enlightenment. Also on display is the Sutra Box, an illustrative work of Goryeo mother-of-pearl inlay of which only about twenty examples are known to exist. This exquisite box is decorated with countless finely cut mother-of-pearl fragments that are intricately arranged to form various floral patterns. Fine metal wires were used to prevent the inlay from falling out and to represent the stems between the flowers, demonstrating the blend of artistry and functionality that is the quintessence of Goryeo artisanry. This exhibition provides a meaningful opportunity to deeply understand the value and significance of these masterpieces created through a grand union of faith and art.
