이화여자대학교박물관

This exhibition features artwork produced between Joseon dynasty and the 1960s, depicting the image of the mother, deified for its correspondence to the principles of nature and the universe, and the experiences that mothers go through in real life including childbirth, child-rearing and education. Also on display are works that re-interpreted motherhood in a socio-political context in the course of political turbulence in Korea during the 1980s and 1990s. The works on exhibit reveal that the fundamental power of motherhood and its historical significance live on regardless of the changing times and culture.
