SEOUL, July 18 (AJU PRESS) - The exhibition "Cat-ch Me If You Can" is being held at the National Folk Museum from May 3 to August 18, exploring the connection and coexistence between humans and cats through over 60 historical and contemporary artifacts, including literature, paintings, photographs, and interviews related to cats.
"The exhibition aims to showcase how cats, which have interacted with humans since ancient times, have become even more integrated into our lives in modern times," says Lee Ju-hong, a curator at the National Folk Museum.
"The narrative we present is that cats, with their cunning yet endearing intentions, have infiltrated human lives to secure comfort and sustenance. They have become part of human culture, almost like family members. This exhibition uncovers the secret behind their charming conquest of our world," he explains.
