Asian-Pacific American Heritage Month is celebrated in May. Treasures from Korea: Arts and Culture of the Joseon Dynasty, 1392-1910 An exhibit of more than a hundred fifty works drawn primarily from the National Museum of Korea dazzles with paintings, sculpture, and decorative arts in this first ever full-scale survey available to U.S. audiences. During the Joseon dynasty —the name Joseon derives from the dominant state in ancient Korea— paintings of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries revealed a distinctly Korean character. Longevity is a principal theme of Joseon art, often symbolized by cranes, deer, rocks, water, the sun, the moon, paired birds, and tortoise.
