The Korea Sports Promotion Foundation's Soma Art Museum is hosting the world-renowned picture book original illustration exhibition, "Picture Books Are Alive."

Starting from the 17th, this exhibition held at the second hall of Somaa Art Museum will introduce picture books on various themes from the late 20th century to Hyundai, in collaboration with R. Michelson Galleries, the largest picture book specialty gallery in the United States.

In particular, this is Korea's largest-scale original illustration exhibition, featuring over 140 original artworks of beloved picture book characters from around the world, including "Where the Wild Things Are" by Maurice Sendak, Caldecott Medal-winning works often referred to as the "Nobel Prize of children's literature," and characters such as "Olivia," "Paddington Bear," and "Thomas & Friends."

Soma Museum of Art aims to reposition picture books, previously consumed solely as publications, as an independent art genre that captures the emotions of the times and social changes.

A Komsport official who spoke with this newspaper by phone said, "We expect this exhibition, which is a generational integration show that encompasses not only children and families but also adult visitors, to provide new cultural experiences through picture books to all attendees."
