Exhibitions from the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMCA) are making their way abroad. Earlier this year, MMCA announced its 2023 exhibition and project plans, emphasizing international connections to accelerate the impact of Korean art on the global art scene.

Last year’s special exhibition of Korean polychrome painting, Prayer for Life, held at MMCA Gwacheon, will be presented at the San Diego Museum of Art in the United States in October. The exhibition will be jointly organized by the San Diego Museum of Art, the Korean Cultural Center in LA, and the Overseas Culture and Information Service and will run from October to February 2024.

In 2021, MMCA held the DNA: Dynamic & Alive Korean Art exhibition, which brought together Korean cultural heritage and modern and contemporary art at MMCA Deoksugung. This exhibition is set to take place at the National Art Museum of China in Beijing in November.
