The exhibition "Impressionism, from Monet to America: Light, Across the Ocean" will be held at ALT.1 in Hyundai Seoul from February 15 to May 26. Water Lilies by Claude Monet, a painter loved by Koreans, is coming to Korea. Monet is an artist who captured the fleeting beauty created by light on canvas. He is known as the originator of Impressionist painters. That is why Monet's landscapes change in various ways depending on the light, which fascinates even those who are not familiar with art. Despite the global art market recession, Water Lilies was sold at Sotheby's in New York for $65.5 million two months ago. Last year, on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the birth of Impressionism, major museums such as the Musée d'Orsay in France held Impressionist exhibitions and borrowed paintings, resulting in no chance for Impressionism to enter Korea. For this reason, the special exhibition that will open next month is expected by people inside and outside the art world as a heavyweight masterpiece exhibition of all ages to kick off the new year. The bridge of European and American Impressionism, Worcester masterpieces gather in one place The Korea Economic Daily, which has been making waves in the art world since the end of the year with the exhibition "Vienna 1900, Dream Artists", jointly held this exhibition with the Worcester Art Museum in the United States to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Vienna 1900. This is the place where Impressionism was born, and you can see 53 points. The organizer of the exhibition explained, "This is a special opportunity to show Korean visitors a new look at Impressionism." The exhibition includes works by Monet, Cézanne, Renoir and Camille Pissarro, which were exhibited at the "First Impressionist Exhibition" held in Paris in 1874, as well as works by John Singer Sargent, Childe Hassam, Jean Baptiste Camille Corot, Mary Cassatt and John Singer Sargent. Alfred These are works by American Impressionist painters such as Sisley. This is because Impressionism, which originated in Europe, crossed the Atlantic and blossomed after encountering American nature, becoming the starting point of modern painting. Art lovers have high hopes for the exhibition commemorating the 150th anniversary of the birth of Impressionism.

Gyeongbokgung Palace: A 600-year-long heartbeat of a dynasty&mdash;a truly memorable experience!
A must-see for history buffs and highly recommended for those seeking a cultural experience! As Korea&#39;s &quot;Palace of the Forbidden City,&quot; Gyeongbokgung Palace&#39;s value goes far beyond its visual appeal&mdash;it serves as the epic starting point for the Joseon Dynasty and a spiritual landmark for understanding Korean culture. Those seeking glitz and glamour may be disappointed, but for those seeking to connect with the soul of the Joseon Dynasty, this is the place to be.

Soul-stirring Highlights:
Changing of the Guards Ceremony (A Must-See!): Performed daily at 10:00 AM, 1:00 PM, and 3:00 PM at Gwanghwamun, this living historical drama unfolds! To the roaring sound of drums, guards in traditional military uniforms march in formation, wielding halberds, their steps resonating as you journey back to 1395 (free and truly breathtaking).
The Philosophical Code of the Complex: The painted double eaves of the Geunjeongjeon Palace embody the majesty of the monarch, the Gyeonghoe Floating Palace reflects the unity of nature and humanity, and the elegant blue tiles of the Jagyeongjeon Palace convey the Zen spirit of the harem&mdash;every beam and pillar holds within them a Confucian cosmology. Hidden healing corners: The picturesque lotus pond at Hyangwonjeong on the west side, where autumn maple leaves dye the palace walls red, is a delightful escape. The Bukwon National Folk Museum (free) uses everyday artifacts to depict the dynastic atmosphere, a warmer experience than the palace itself.

A hanbok experience paradise: Clothing rental shops abound inside and outside the palace walls. With a hanbok and a bun (approximately 20,000-30,000 won), you can immerse yourself in a historical landscape without any barriers. Every photo of the blue-tiled stone pavement is a cinematic masterpiece (admission is free!).

True Experience: Avoid the midday sun! Early morning or an hour before closing time is the least crowded, when the slanting light and shadows on the stone carvings of mythical beasts are most striking. Vegetation within the palace is sparse, so combine a half-day visit with the National Museum of Contemporary Art or Bukchon Hanok Village on the west side. Closed on Tuesdays!

Conclusion: Gyeongbokgung Palace isn&#39;t just a &quot;10-minute photo op&quot; attraction. It requires you to slow down and feel the breath of a dynasty amid the drumbeat of the changing of the guards and the silence of the mottled shadows of the pillars. This heaviness and poetry that transcends time and space is truly a priceless treasure.

The palace is well-preserved and has so much rich history! It&rsquo;s also walking-distance from Jogyesa Temple and the Insa-dong neighborhood. The views are especially spectacular at sunset.
