SUNY Korea Museum of Modern Costume Unveils First Exhibition After Relocation: COLORSCAPE: Worn in Color SUNY Korea Museum of Modern Costume will open a special exhibition, “COLORSCAPE: Worn in Color,” in its new location at the 3rd Floor of the Incheon Global Campus Multi-Complex Building, from March 25th to May 29th. This relocation marks a new start to the SUNY Korea Museum of Modern Costume. To celebrate this milestone, an opening ceremony will be held on the 25th featuring a ribbon cutting ceremony with distinguished guests, including the President of SUNY Korea, as well as representatives from IFEZ and IGC. “COLORSCAPE: Worn in Color” is a student-curated exhibition under the direction of Professor Linda Kim of FIT. Over the past 12 weeks, the Fashion Business Management students worked together to prepare this exhibition - from researching, planning, designing, and installation. This exhibition also features work by the late Professor Chun Bum Bae, founder of the Korea Fashion & Culture Association, who significantly elevated Korean fashion artwear. The artwork and garments receive inspiration “from light to celebration, with color moving from perception to experience,” showcasing the process of the formation of color. Color does not exist without light. In the absence of chromatic difference, perception turns toward form, material, and presence. Then perception is guided by black and white, revealing light, contrast, and structure before color fully emerges. Before color was shaped by human intention, it existed first in nature. As color appears, it is introduced through the full spectrum of sunlight. As the journey continues, color becomes structured through shape and spatial order, reflecting systems shaped by human thought and practice. Finally, color unfolds in its most expansive form through culture—expressed through diverse designs, textiles, techniques, handwoven materials, knitting, and multicolored forms—culminating in a celebration of color. "The COLORSCAPE: Worn in Color" exhibition will be held from March 25, 2026 to May 29, 2026, located on the 3rd floor of the Incheon Global Campus Multi-Complex Building, room 3024. The SUNY Korea Museum of Modern Costume is open to the public from 10 AM to 5 PM on weekdays and closed on weekends and holidays. Click here to watch a short guide to the museum’s new location: LINK

[Student Reporter] Threads of the Past: Goryeo-Era Fashion Exhibition at SUNY Korea SUNY Korea’s Museum of Modern Costume proudly presents a new exhibition centering on ancient Korean fashion, offering a perspective beyond conventional depictions of Korea’s rich cultural heritage. On April 16th, the opening showcase unveils the meticulous research and beautiful work of Jeong Choi, a professor at Wonkwang University, whose work reflects historically accurate garments from the Goryeo-era. Concerning the heart of the exhibition, Professor Jeong Choi shared that, “With few surviving artifacts from the Goryeo period [918-1392], I have continually sought ways to present historical costume research in engaging ways.” Goryeo costume was rooted in Unified Silla’s culture and the spirit of Goguryeo, but developed its own distinctive identity through an intermingling of histories, with dynasties such as Song, Yuan, and Ming. From the gold-laden robes seen in Buddhist paintings, to Mongolian bridal garments, Goryeo fashion reflected a blend of tradition and foreign influences. For this showcase, Professor Choi has merged three of her past exhibitions. The first show, The Kingdom of Blue Clouds (2022), explores Goryeo attire according to social rank. The second, Goryeo on the Rise: A Lotus Flower Meeting in the Moonlight (2023), illustrates festival attire. The third, Goryeo on the Rise II: The Banquet was a War (2024), delves into the tale of a fashion rivalry during the reign of King Chungseon. Through illustrations, recreated garments, and captivating stories, this exhibition allows guests to immerse themselves in the history of Korea's fashion scene. Professor Choi hopes this exhibition will offer an insightful take on Goryeo fashion, for designers and the general public alike. “Interest in traditional Korean costume is growing,” Choi shares. “I hope this exhibition fosters connections among enthusiasts and scholars.” The SUNY Korea Museum of Modern Costume extends a heartfelt thanks to Professor Jeong Choi for the time, insight, and dedication that was put into this timeless collection. The Goryeo: Fragrance of Lotus, Sleeves of Clouds exhibition is being held from April 16, 2025 to May 16, 2025. Located on the basement floor of Academic Building A, come and be immersed in the past fashions of Korea, witnessing the beautiful clothing people once wore.
