[KS] Flagship of a Fleet: A Korea Gallery Guide, the Smithsonian

[Kwang On Yoo]

Hello Everyone,

I am pleased to introduce following book;


Flagship of a Fleet, A Korean Gallery Guide

Dr. Paul Michael Taylor and Christopher Lotis

Asian Cultural History Program, Smithsonian Institute

ISBN 078-0-9724557-0-1

*Flagship of a Fleet: A Korea Gallery Guide* is published by the
Smithsonian’s Asian Cultural History Program. This full-color, 115 page,
illustrated book, co-authored by Dr. Paul Michael Taylor, Director, Asian
Cultural History Program & Curator, Asian Ethnology and Christopher Lotis,
Director of Publication, Asian Cultural History Program serves as a
companion guide to the Korea Gallery, an on-going exhibition at the
Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History. The Korea Gallery presents
Korea’s millennia of history and its distinctive culture through ceramics,
paintings, textiles, and sculptures, ranging from the 6th century B.

Introducing Korea to a broad audience, the guidebook highlights and
identifies the objects on exhibit, many of them previously unpublished. The
book includes an introduction to the Smithsonian’s Asian Cultural History
Program and its Korean Heritage Project, founded in 1985. It provides a
historical context and background of how the Korea Gallery exhibition
developed within an integrated curatorial program. The authors consider this
exhibition the “flagship” of a fleet of related activities in the field of
Korean heritage, including research, education, outreach, public programs
and the development and improvement of museum collections.
