In the coming year, we leave the snake behind and enter the Year of the Horse.
For those of you who need a primer on what that might mean, our Kim Hyun-bin has a preview of an exhibition
designed to help viewers understand.
What do Samsung Electronics CEO Lee Kun-Hee, figure skater Kim Yu-Na and Girls Generation members
Yoona and Soo-young have in common?
They were all born in the year of the horse, and people born under this sign in the Chinese zodiac are said to be
outgoing, energetic and clever, with ingenious communication techniques.
But there's more to it than that, and if you want to know more, you can head over to the National Folk Museum
of Korea, which is marking the year of the horse with an exhibition to help visitors understand what it's all
about.
The New Year will be the year of the horse. The horse is a dynamic animal, so with that in mind we devised this
exhibition to help people understand what a big part of our lives and culture horses are.
Visitors will have a chance to see how horses in Korea, from the Joseon Dynasty to the present day, were used
and what they looked like on different occasions.
Through this exhibition we had a chance to learn about different types of horses and their characteristics.
There are dozens of artifacts, tools and other implements on display, with detailed information about each piece
and how it was used. The exhibition is scheduled to run through February 17.
The year of the horse gives us a fresh start, a clean slate to make up for our mistakes and fulfill our goals.
