South Korean actor Jang Keun-suk took a role of an ambassador for “Van Gough Inside: Festival of Light and Music”. The exhibition features Dutch painter Vincent Van Gough and other painters who are inspired by the impressionist.

The Dutch painter is one of the most favored artists of Koreans. The exhibition will show 400 paintings, 247 by Van Gough and the rest by other painters including Claude Monet, and Pierre Auguste Renoir who are also on the list of Korean’s favorite artists.

According to Mr. Jang, he joined the project to become the ambassador because the impressionist is very popular not just by artists but by the ordinary people. Jang also mentioned that he had always been fascinated by the works of Van Gough for a long time.

The exhibition will be held at Culture Station Seoul 284 from January 8 until April 17. This exhibition will offer its viewers with a unique experience. Van Gough’s life and works will be displayed on digital screens with music.
