Special Exhibition Titled “Clothes: Wearing Time” Held in Commemoration of the 90h Anniversary of the Ewha Womans University Museum On May 28, 2025 (Wed.), the Ewha Womans University Museum opened a special exhibition titled “Clothes: Wearing Time” to commemorate the 139th anniversary of Ewha’s founding and the 90th anniversary of the museum’s establishment. The opening ceremony held in the museum lobby was attended by about 150 distinguished guests from within and outside Ewha who gathered to celebrate the museum’s 90th anniversary, including Chairperson Chang Myong-Sue of the Ewha Womans University Board of Trustees and President Hyang-Sook Lee, Following the ceremony, visitors admired the special exhibition with a guided tour led by curatorial researcher Sujin SONG. Through this exhibition, the museum presents over 200 diverse clothing artifacts, from excavated artifacts of early Joseon-period garments to modern hanbok. The exhibition aims to explore clothing as an indispensable part of our lives and a cultural language that reflects both the personal narratives of individuals and the ever-changing tides of the times, allowing visitors to profoundly appreciate the meaning and beauty of clothing from different eras. Galleries 1 and 2, under the theme “Garments Made of Silk,” showcase a wide array of silk garments worn by the royal court and noble households, including “inner robe for official’s ceremonial attire,” believed to have been worn by Heungseon Daewongun (1820-1898) as court attire, as well as the ceremonial robe of wonsam and the over-apron, believed to have been gifted by Queen Sinjeong (1808–1890) to her natal family. Gallery 3 is dedicated to “Garments Made of Hemp and Cotton,” while Gallery 4 explores the theme “Transformation and New Aesthetics of Hanbok.” In Gallery 5, visitors can explore depictions of generations who wore hanbok in daily life through films and materials from the 1940s to the 1960s. In addition, an AI-based costume experience program allows visitors to create and keep illustrated images of themselves dressed in traditional clothing against the backdrop of the Ewha campus. This exhibition, arranged with partial support from the “University Museum Promotion Support Project,” hosted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and organized by the Korean Association of University Museums, will run through November 28, 2025 (Fri.). On the last Wednesday of each month, designated as Culture Day, the museum will extend its opening hours until 7 p.m. For further details, please visit the museum website (http://museum.ewha.ac.kr/).
