1st Anniversary Exhibition 'Invitation of a Collector' Viewing
[Asia Economy Reporter Park Sun-mi] Lee Jae-yong, Vice Chairman of Samsung Electronics, visited the National Museum of Korea along with Hong Ra-hee, former director of the Leeum Museum of Art, and Lee Seo-hyun, chairperson of the Samsung Welfare Foundation, to mark the first anniversary of the donation of the late Lee Kun-hee's collection.
According to industry sources on the 29th, Lee visited the National Museum of Korea the previous day and viewed the exhibition "An Invitation from a Collector," commemorating the first anniversary of the donation of the "Lee Kun-hee Collection," held in the special exhibition hall. It was a reunion with the late chairman's art collection just one year after the family donated over 24,000 pieces of his personal collection to national institutions on April 28 last year. At that time, the family fulfilled the late chairman's wish that "efforts are needed to enhance the status of the national museum" through the donation.
