Tejidos del Museo de Bordados de Corea' offers a glimpse into the primary artistic expressions of Korean culture through textiles. The exhibition features approximately one hundred pieces from the final period of the Choseon dynasty (1392-1910), showcasing intricate embroidery (chasu) used to embellish various objects and garments, as well as the art of pojagui, or wrapping cloths, which originated from recycled fabric scraps.
