The National Folk Museum of Korea is hosting the special donation exhibition "Kokdu: Parade" until March 3, 2025.
Kokdu were used by ancestors as symbols to accompany the final journey of the deceased and to pray for their well-being.
The 250 works donated by Kim Ock-rang shed light on the traditional Korean worldview on life and death.
Visitors will explore the intersection of life, death, and traditional culture through the three-part exhibition.
