Often heard at the beginning of Korean legends and folktales, “When the tiger smoked a pipe” is a familiar phrase akin to “Once upon a time.” This program draws from the Asian Art Museum’s collection of Korean art to explore a layered and transformative history of artmaking. Renowned for its ceramics and textiles, Korea has also created, adapted, and refined a variety of art forms. Today, Korea is among the leaders of contemporary art production.

This one-hour online lecture by Asian Art Museum community speaker docent Ginny Meyer is followed by a Q&A.

Please arrive on time to ensure your spot. Waitlisted registrants will receive the Zoom link a couple minutes after the program begins.
