The Korean Cultural Centre UK is pleased to present Endless Bonds: AI and Korean Heritage, an immersive media showcase running from 17 July - 22 August 2025. Organised in collaboration with the National Museum of Korea, this exhibition brings Korean cultural heritage to life through a series of cutting-edge digital experiences.
Marking the 80th anniversary of Korea’s liberation, Endless Bonds explores the dialogue between Korea’s rich past and its technological future. Through the universal language of visuals, the showcase invites visitors of all ages to engage deeply with Korean art and artifacts - offering new ways to connect with heritage, history, and identity.
The journey begins with Royal Procession with the People, a vibrant digital recreation of King Jeongjo’s 1795 procession to his father’s tomb in Hwaseong. It continues with Climbing Mt. Geumgang, a dynamic digital collage inspired by Jeong Seon’s Album of Mt. Geumgang, reimagining Korea’s most sacred landscape through a contemporary lens.
Endless Bonds also presents digital reinterpretations of Korean artifacts from the National Museum of Korea and major UK institutions such as the British Museum and the V&A, exploring how AI can offer new perspectives on historical objects.
In a rare public unveiling, the exhibition includes digitised versions of Kim Ok-gyun’s Korean letter from the Cambridge University Library and the Jade Stream Club (Okkyesa) from the British Library—revealing hidden facets of Korea’s intellectual history.
By connecting objects, sites, and people, Endless Bonds offers a fresh perspective on Korean heritage and highlights its enduring cultural ingenuity. Bridging the past and the present, this media showcase invites all visitors to discover Korea’s timeless stories through future-facing creativity.
