  • See You Again

    The MOKA Garden presents See You Again, an exhibition by the Hyundai Museum of Kids’ Books & Art (MOKA), featuring seven picture book artists from Korea and worldwide. See You Again features 7 picture books presented through three themes: 'Together Today,' 'Vanishing Today,' and 'Lasting Today. 'Together Today' invites us to rediscover ourselves in nature and to picture a hopeful tomorrow inspired by the comfort and energy of the natural world. 'Vanishing Today' shares stories of life, slowly becoming extinct due to human actions. 'Lasting Today,' portrays our surroundings that have become less comfortable as they fill with artificial objects. With more than 40 works on view, the exhibition offers a chance to appreciate the artistic value of nature and the environment.

  • The Museum of Nothing

    Welcome to the special museum!
    Introduced by Steven Guarnaccia, the “The Museum of Nothing" isn't really filled with nothing. It features bottles containing invisible air and fragrance, books filled with blank pages, and even wide-open holes.

  • Beyond Paper Plane

    The Beyond Paper Plane travelling exhibition project presents contemporary Czech illustrators and artists with a particular focus on children’s books. The curatorial selection features books that combine a three-dimensional object with an independent work of art. This allows the books to offer a much greater sense of space and haptics and promotes the authenticity of the material. Contemporary children's books have the potential for further interactive and educational use, whether it is the analogue manual finishing of the illustrations or their transfer into virtual reality, allowing children to immerse themselves in the game. The illustrations experiment with unusual materials, such as sheet metal, textiles, optical foils, photographs or found objects, pushing the boundaries of the conventional book format and the traditionally associated media such as watercolour, drawing, printmaking or painting.

  • I know them

    What does the world look like as seen by beings that are so close to us, yet unseen? Imagine a subway that runs along one road, carrying many people all day long, a rabbit living with people on the veranda, and the gaze and emotions of the plants in the living room. They find the people strange at first, but over time, they know a lot about the people. In this exhibition, we hope you'll enjoy the stories of plants, animals, and objects, and have fun imagining that many of the beings around us feel a wide range of emotions and have unspoken concerns, just like people.
