KOREA
Distinct as it is rich, Korean culture is a product of exchange with
China, Asian religious influences, historical aggressions and
occupations, and the unique character of the Korean people themselves.
Literature, painting, folk art, calligraphy, sculpture, architecture,
music, dance and theater have been ever-present in Korean life. Each
discipline reflects a variety religious beliefs, political movements,
personal and ritual expressions indicative of the time and feelings of
the Korean people throughout the centuries. Many modern concert halls,
art centers, galleries, parks, and libraries house and encourage the
arts while making great effort to preserve and display the ancient
traditions along with contemporary expressions. More popular locations
are the Seoul Arts Center, Sejong Cultural Center, the National
Theater, the National Museum of Korea and the National Museum of
Contemporary Art.
