The Gyeonggi Provincial Museum hosts a special exhibition as part of the 'Liberation 80-Unity' series. The first part, opening on April 11, focuses on Kim Gajin (1846-1922), a notable figure during the Korean Empire who was deeply involved in the independence movement against Japanese occupation. Known for his contributions to art and politics, Kim's work, including the 'Independence Gate' inscription, symbolizes Korea's assertion of independence. The exhibition showcases over 120 items, including poems, artwork, and code documents highlighting his multifaceted legacy and links with other independence activists. It's part of a broader narrative connecting personal, familial, and national histories toward independence and reunification.
