The SOMA Museum, operated by the Korea Sports Promotion Foundation, will host an exhibition titled "From Monument to Landscape" commemorating the 140th anniversary of diplomatic relations between South Korea and France.

Running from the 17th through February next year, the exhibition focuses on the Olympic Sculpture Park, established as part of the "1988 Seoul Olympics Cultural and Arts Festival," to highlight the art exchanges that took place at the time between South Korea and France. It also examines how the sculpture park has evolved in meaning from a space of "monument" into a "landscape" where memories of citizens' daily lives have accumulated.

The exhibition, composed of three sections titled "Cultural Olympics and France," "Forms of Commemoration," and "Continuing Landscapes," features works by French artists who participated in the Olympic Sculpture Park, as well as major works symbolizing the park, including "Gate of World Peace" by artist Moon Shin and architect Kim Chong-up, both of whom were active in France.

In particular, in collaboration with the Cultural Section of the French Embassy, a mini-concert titled "Autumn in SOMA x IFcinéma," outdoor film screenings, and various exhibition-linked programs such as an "Art Campaign" are scheduled to be held on Saturday, the 24th.
