The Field Museum: Cultural Connections
In 2004, the Center partnered with the Swedish American
Museum Center to present differences and similarities
between Korean and Swedish marriage ceremonies and wedding
conventions.
In 2006, the Center showcased Korean fashion styles and
costumes under the theme of “Dressed for the Part” in
collaboration with the Balzekas Museum of Lithuanian
Culture. The program included a display and discussion of
what in our cultures have shaped our fashion trends and
self-image.
In 2007, the Center teamed up with the Indo American
Center to present different customs related to teaching.
Using yoga from India and poongmul from Korea, the event
illustrated how yoga and poongmul are traditionally taught
and what those teaching principles imply for today’s
education.
