The 7th Wild Chrysanthemum Exhibition
This exhibition has been opened annually in order to preserve and increase the number of wild chrysanthemums. You will be able to feel as if you are inside a painting as you walk among the 250 pieces of pot work which include 30 different kinds of chrysanthemums. This year’s exhibition is especially different from the ones held in the past, since it is being held in the Hanguk Garden, which has traditional Korean architecture.

The 13th Gukhwa Exhibition
You will be able to see over 500 pieces of pot work made with various flowers. Each year, a different theme is set for the exhibition, and this year’s theme is “a piece of oriental painting”. The traditional meaning of beauty in Korea usually stresses the trait, gracefulness. Therefore, the exhibition is not too fancy and the flowers that are displayed give a warm feeling, creating a calm atmosphere. Oriental painting also emphasizes the beauty of blank space, so this exhibition will not be overfilled with flowers, but with just the right amount.
