Experience the Aesthetic of Korean Cultural Heritage at “The Writer’s Room”!

내용

From June 13 (Fri) to 25 (Wed), the Busan Library will host the exhibition The Room of Yoo Hong-jun: The Breath of Aesthetics, the Record of Life on the second floor exhibition hall.

This exhibition recreates the writing space and cultural reflections of Yoo Hong-jun, a renowned art historian and author of the My Exploration of Cultural Heritage series and other humanities essays.

The exhibition centers around Yoo’s life and philosophy, featuring his major works and personal collections that have introduced the beauty and value of Korean cultural heritage to the public.

Visitors will have a special opportunity to explore the essence of Korean aesthetics through the writer’s eyes and experience the depth of humanities.

The exhibition is organized into five sections:

• ● “That Person, Yoo Hong-jun”: Showcasing the author’s life and academic journey

• ● “The Scholar’s Room”: Featuring his research notes, lecture materials, and major works

• ● “The Path of Exploration”: Displaying travel notes and exploration tools

• ● “The Room of Beauty”: Centered on the theme The Beauty of Korea

• ● “Your Room”: A participatory space where visitors can write letters to the author

The items on display were provided by Changbi Publishers, consisting of actual works, exploration notes, and personal artifacts. The exhibition space, including lighting and layout, has been designed to invite reflection and immersion.

Especially in the final space, “Your Room,” visitors can write letters to Yoo Hong-jun, sharing thoughts and emotions inspired by his works—creating a deep, immersive conclusion to their visit.

After the Busan Library exhibition ends, the exhibit will travel to other public libraries in the region. Details are available on the Busan Library website (http://library.busan.go.kr/busanlibrary/board/index.do?menu_idx=34&manage_idx=14).

Statement from the Director:

Park Eun-a, Director of Busan Library, stated:
“This exhibition is more than just a display—it’s an opportunity for citizens to naturally connect with cultural heritage and the depth of art through the familiar space of a ‘writer’s room.’ We will continue to expand humanities-centered exhibition content.”
