Jeju Special Self-Governing Province’s Jeju Museum of Art is currently hosting an online exhibition titled “The Four Seasons of Jeju” on its smart online gallery, which began on August 13 and will run until July 20 of next year.
❍ The smart online gallery is a virtual exhibition space that allows visitors to explore the artwork without any time or spatial limitations, using a web platform. By employing 3D scanning and modeling technology, the actual exhibition space (Special Exhibition Hall 2) is recreated to offer an experience as if visitors are walking through the real gallery.
θ “The Four Seasons of Jeju” is a curated exhibition that showcases the natural beauty of Jeju through the museum’s collection. The exhibition is divided into four seasons—spring, summer, autumn, and winter—allowing viewers to closely observe the island’s nature and culture throughout the year.
