The Koreans have developed new forms of ceramics through friendly interchange with neighboring countries. They accord tradition the utmost importance and uphold 'succession and harmony' as they build on tradition by accommodating the best aspects of foreign culture and harmonizing the new with the old.

Even one thousand years ago, it was this spirit of succession of tradition, openness, and keeping a global sense of harmonization that enabled Korea to develop jade-green celadon, which was literally acclaimed as the ‘best under heaven’ then and still is to this day. The same spirit was, centuries later, also responsible for giving us the understated beauty of Joseon white porcelain, which embodies the spirit of the literati scholars. Korea has always kept abreast of the latest developments in China and produced some of the most highly prized ceramics in the world.

Gyeonggi Ceramic Museum opened a permanent exhibition of its collection which shows the development process of Korean ceramics. Beginning one thousand years ago, from the Goryeo period, and proceeding through modern times, this exhibition lays out the development of Goryeo celadon and Joseon buncheong and white porcelain in a way that viewers can readily understand, and shows how the tradition of Korean ceramics has been built on in modern times.
