Exhibitions 《Everyday Images, How They Address Us》 on View Through November 22, 2026, at Seoul National University Museum of Art The Seoul National University Museum of Art presents a special exhibition 《Everyday Images, How They Address Us》 on view through November 22. In the mid-twentieth century, pop art actively brought images from advertising, consumer goods, comics, and mass media into the realm of art. As mass media and consumer culture continued to grow and new forms of media emerged, Korean artists likewise began to appropriate and transform images and objects from everyday life, combining them with other images to reflect the society and culture of their time. 2026.09.11
