PLANT COMMUNITIES OF KOREA – A Photographic Exhibition from Botanical Expeditions

WHAT CAN YOU LOOK FORWARD TO?

East Asia is one of the world’s richest regions in terms of plant diversity, and the flora of the Korean Peninsula forms a significant part of this natural wealth. To honour this diversity, the Prague Botanical Garden is creating a new exposition dedicated to Korean plants. It will complement the garden’s existing areas, showcasing species from China and Japan.

The photographic exhibition Plant Communities of Korea introduces visitors to the landscapes of Korea and offers insight into the development of the new exposition. It captures the natural beauty of the country’s protected areas, including sites on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The exhibition also documents the professional process behind the project, from expeditions and plant material collection to cultivation in the garden’s facilities and the future planting schemes. An architectural concept of the forthcoming exposition is also part of the exhibition.

Attention is also given to an upcoming publication that documents the botanical expedition in detail, from its progress and results to future goals. The exhibition thus offers a comprehensive view of a long-term project that connects botanical research, architecture, Korean culture, and environmental education.
