Korean Craft Past and Future on Display at Incheon Airport

Incheon International Airport Corporation, in partnership with the National Heritage Promotion Institute, is presenting the special exhibition “HIP, KOREA! – Craft Connecting Eras, Shaping the Future” at the Incheon Airport Museum through March next year.

The exhibition reinterprets the beauty of traditional Korean crafts with a modern perspective, showcasing around 70 pieces that include both contemporary artworks and traditional artifacts.

Organized around the theme of “From Modern to Tradition,” the exhibition begins with contemporary crafts such as metalwork, ceramics, lacquerware, and textiles that highlight the potential of today’s K-craft. The latter part features authentic historical relics, including items from the National Museum of Korea and the Yanggu White Porcelain Museum, emphasizing their cultural roots and aesthetic depth.

Visitors can also take part in interactive programs. Throughout the exhibition, the Korea Traditional Culture Center will offer a free hands-on experience where participants can make a “bojagi keyring,” allowing them to enjoy both the exhibition and Korea’s traditional culture.
