During the opening ceremony held on Oct. 13, Danish Ambassador Thomas Lehmann said, “We are proud and happy to share this treasure of Denmark with you all throughout next month. The Danish Jewellery Box is not only about showing jewellery, it showcases Denmark’s contemporary culture in art, craft, and design, and how it’s developed over time. I hope you will enjoy the exhibition and take home with you the Danish experience that comprises it.”

Ambassador Lehmann and spouse Jule Lehmann, Director Kim Seoung-Heui of the Seoul National University Museum of Art, Executive Vice President Kim Chong-suh of Seoul National University, Chairman Niels Hvass of the Danish Arts Foundation’s Committee for Crafts and Design Grants, and two Danish jewellery designers whose works are featured in the exhibition were present at the opening ceremony.

Guided by the philosophy that jewellery is best displayed worn on the human body, this exhibition has a loan scheme that allows Danish nationals to rent and wear the jewellery when attending public events. In addition, the aforementioned designers will be hosting workshops at Seoul National University where they will share their knowledge, experience, and craftsmanship with the students.

The Danish Jewellery Box opened at the Seoul National University Museum of Art on Oct. 13 and will be on display until Nov. 22, 2015. It is open to the public with an entrance fee of 3,000 won.
