The Arts of Korea

"This publication introduces Korea’s artistic achievement and places it in the context of its history and religions. Works from the Museum’s permanent collection form the core of the discussion and are used to illustrate the diversity and beauty of Korean art. These include Buddhist paintings, celadon wares and white porcelain vessels, inlaid lacquerwares, and traditional musical instruments. The boxed set also provides useful teaching tools for the classroom, including maps, an illustrated timeline, a chronology, a glossary, lesson plans, questioning strategies, cross-cultural comparisons, and two large posters. In addition, there are bibliographies for educators and students as well as lists of relevant Web sites, cultural resources, and film and video resources." (text from metmuseum.org)
