From Renaissance paintings to Impressionist works that have consistently been loved by visitors, the exhibition highlights how the themes of Western art have shifted from the divine to people and our daily lives.

A representative from the National Museum of Korea stated, “To provide a comfortable exhibition environment, viewing sessions will be designated in 30-minute intervals with limited admission per session,” adding, “Since only a limited number of tickets will be sold, desired sessions may sell out quickly.”
