Flip Sides: Seeing Korean Art Anew

At the Met Museum Exhibitions, *Flip Sides: Seeing Korean Art Anew* reconsiders how Korean objects have been viewed, labeled, and displayed in American museums. The presentation brings attention to materials and makers across periods, asking viewers to look past familiar categories and notice what has been left out of the frame. In New York City, where Korean culture is often encountered through contemporary media and commerce, the show situates older works within longer histories of exchange and collecting. Its most pointed insight is quiet: the “new” perspective often comes from changing the museum’s own habits of seeing.
