Korea Gallery Docent Program
The Korea Gallery is a new exhibition opening June 8, 2007 at the National Museum of Natural History. The exhibition celebrates Korea’s distinctive art, culture, and history. The Gallery is supported by The Korea Foundation, with additional support from Korean Air and other donors.
Volunteer docents are needed to help visitors enjoy and understand the Gallery. Docents will help interpret the organization, themes, and concepts of the exhibition.
