Event details: The Smile of Buddha. 1600 Years of Buddhist Art in Korea
Description
Within the framework of the Korea Festival in the autumn of 2008, the Centre for Fine Arts will be showing the finest masterpieces of Buddhist art from the history of Korea. For more than 1,600 years Buddhism has played an important role in Korean society. When it arrived in Korea, Buddhism was strongly influenced by native religions; the teachings of Buddha also formed the country's most important bond with neighbouring China and Japan. Among the treasures on display will be a number of “national treasures” from the National Museum in Seoul, including the gilded bronze Maitreya figure from the early 7th century, and a selection of the grandest paintings of the Goreyo period.
