The OCI Museum of Art hosts an exhibition titled 'Memories of Bearded Yun Sang and the Muse' until March 22. Yun Sang, a private collector whose detailed activities were largely unknown, held a significant art exhibition in 1956 post-Korean War, featuring works from prominent Korean modern artists. This exhibition at the OCI Museum commemorates its 15th anniversary by revealing Yun Sang's collection - a guest book with vibrant memories from various artists and figures of the era. Additionally, there are artworks that haven't been publicly displayed before, including pieces by notable artists such as Go Hui-dong and Kim Whan-ki. The third section includes a historical tribute from 1553. The event provides a glimpse into the development of modern art spaces in Korea.
