It's like one freak'in room. The art of Thailand has probably 6x more space devoted to it. The Korean exhibit at LACMA (Los Angeles Museum of Art) is a lot better only because the Min family (yes, exiles of Queen Min's family) settled in LA and donated a lot of pieces from their personal collections. Korea would send more pieces abroad, but there just isn't much left anymore. Some were destroyed by the Mongols when they invaded. Many have been looted by the Japanese (both in 1592 and 1905) and are locked up in private collections (thus not property of the Japanese government and not covered by the 1965 normalization treaty). http://www.newsweek.com/id/48567?tid=relatedcl Considering how many Koreans live in NYC, the MET’s Korean exhibit is pathetic.

Beautiful screen, by the way. This is the shortest post in Marmot’s Hole history to have the letters m, e, t, r, o, p, o, l, i, t, a, and n so close together.
