The Seok Ju-Seon Memorial Museum of Dankook University displays the beauty of Korean traditional costumes through the Google Art Project, Google’s exhibition project that aims to provide access to cultural heritage for everyone.
About 150 pieces of traditional Korean costumes are exhibited through the Art Project. This includes the ceremonial robe, known as Wonsam, of Princess Deok-on, the last princess of the Joseon Dynasty.
Princess Deok-on (1822~1844), the youngest daughter of King Sunjo, the 23rd king of the Joseon Dynasty, was the last princess in the royal line of the dynasty. The precious artifacts of Princess Deok-on displayed in the special exhibition show the life and culture of royal and gentry families in the late Joseon Dynasty.
“Our collection of traditional costumes is now displayed to people around the world through the Google Art Project. We will continue our dedication to discovering and conducting research on excavated costumes as a leading university museum,” the director of the museum, Kyungsik Park, said.
The Google Art Project is a unique collaboration with some of the world’s most acclaimed art institutions to enable people to discover and view artworks online in extraordinary detail. Currently, more than 700 institutions in 60 different countries are participating in this project.
