[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] Dankook University Seokjuseon Memorial Museum announced on the 13th that it has planned a virtual reality (VR) untact museum exhibition.

The special exhibition "Traditional Korean Shoes, Shapes and Structures," running until November 20, will be held both online and offline, and the online museum exhibition is also available on the Seokjuseon Memorial Museum website.

This exhibition features items such as the 'Gyeolhwa Onhye' and 'Pichohye' excavated from the tomb of a Gangneung Kim clan woman from the Joseon Dynasty 500 years ago, as well as the 'Heukpihwa' directly passed down from ancestors to descendants. Gyeolhwa Onhye was presented to the royal family on special days such as the birth dates of the queen and consort, Jungsam (March 3, Samjinnal), and Chuseok. It was named for the flowers placed on the front of the shoe. Pichohye is a straw shoe made of leather similar to modern women's sandals.

Meanwhile, this special exhibition also showcases fashion shoes designed with motifs from traditional shoes in the Seokjuseon Museum collection, created in collaboration with students from Dankook University's Department of Fashion Industry Design. For more details, please inquire via the Seokjuseon Museum website or by phone.
