I post this on behalf of Ms. Woo Hyunsoo at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The attached photo is the gwaebul (괘불) painting loaned from Hwaom-sa (화엄사), dispalyed on the grand stairway at the Museum. A great opportunity for those who plan to attend the AAS meeting in Philly later this month! Sun Joo

Dear Friend,
It is my great pleasure to invite you to visit Treasures from Korea: Arts and Culture of the Joseon Dynasty, 1392-1910, opening on March 2. This exhibition will bring to Philadelphia the rich culture of one of the longest-ruling Confucian dynasties, through paintings, sculpture, calligraphy, ceramics, religious & secular art, as well as interactive installations. Many of the more than 150 masterworks on view have never before been seen outside Korea.
Today Korea is flourishing in every way. This would not have been possible without the important legacy of Joseon dynastic rule that spanned over 500 years and continues to manifest itself today, influencing modern etiquette, cultural norms, and societal attitudes.
The scope of this presentation and the rarity of the art work on view will make this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. 
I hope you will take as much pleasure in visiting as I did in organizing this spectacular exhibition.
Sincerely,
Hyunsoo Woo
The Maxine and Howard Lewis Associate Curator of Korean Art
