Three Small Museums in Rome, Italy
Ara Pacis One of my favorite things to do when I travel is to find smaller museums to visit. I find that they offer wonderful shows of artists that I probably wouldn’t encounter in other spaces. On my visit to Rome this spring I found three great small museums. Instituto Culturale Coreano (Korean Cultural Institute) This small exhibit space is dedicated to promoting the language and culture of Korea in Italy. What drew me was a poster I had seen while taking the subway in Rome. Western Fairy Tales in Hanbok was a show of art created by Wooh Nayoung, a Korean illustrator. Ms. Wooh interprets modern western cultural icons in the anime style and wearing hanbok, traditional Korean clothes. From Alice in Wonderland to Marvel Comics to Disney, Ms. Wooh offers a new view on some classic characters.
