San Francisco's Asian Art Museum Soon to Welcome New Curator

The San Francisco Asian Art Museum, one of San Francisco's most popular tourist attractions, will soon welcome a new curator of Korean art. Hyonjeong Kim Han has been a curator at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) and was instrumental in the re-installation of the museum's Korean art galleries, the largest such galleries outside of Korea. Kim joined the LACMA in 2006 and has acted as the head curator for the museum's Chinese and Korean art.

Kim is a specialist in Korean and Chinese paintings from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and will serve as head of the museum’s Korean art department, planning and directing all department activities, including leading advanced curatorial work, organizing special exhibitions, and overseeing the care and academic interpretation of all Korean art objects belonging or lent to the museum. The Asian Art Museum is proud to welcome to their staff a well known curator who is sure to bring new and exciting exhibits to the museum in the future.
