Guided by VMFA Curatorial Assistant William Neer, this final virtual tour in the popular online video series highlights exquisite artworks currently on view in the museum's Korean gallery, including ceramics, metalwork, lacquerware, painting and contemporary works that collectively span more than 1,500 years.

While key thematic presentations of the museum's Korean art collection include the development of ceramics and techniques, Buddhist art, ritual services and outside cultural influences, this virtual tour takes a closer look at ten of the most significant objects from the current exhibition. Among them are a bronze foliate mirror from the 12th-13th century, an ornate 18th-century lacquerware inlaid with shimmering mother-of-pearl, 19th-century white porcelain vessels that would typically grace a scholar's study or as offerings to a Buddhist temple, as well as an intricately painted 10-panel folding screen from the 19th century.
