Forty-five signature works will be showcased.

The exhibition consists of five sections. It begins with videos of workshop activities, followed by displays of tools and materials, works, artisan interviews, and an experience zone. Actual sounds from the production process will also be played as ASMR.

Meanwhile, from June 12 to 27, hands-on programs such as "Making a Hwagak Suncatcher" and "Making a Saekdong Jeogori Keyring" will be held every Friday and Saturday for a total of eleven sessions.
