Ewha Holds Special “MEMORY AND FUTURE” Exhibition to Mark 140th Anniversary The Ewha Womans University Museum and the Ewha Archives are presenting the special exhibition “MEMORY AND FUTURE: Celebrating 140 Years of Truth, Goodness, Beauty at Ewha” at the Special Exhibition Hall on the museum’s second floor through December 31 for the university’s 140th anniversary. The exhibition reflects on Ewha’s educational ideals of truth, goodness, and beauty and its proud history of advancing women’s education and culture while sharing its vision for the future. Approximately 280 artifacts, including state-recognized Treasures and National Treasures, are on display. The exhibition is organized into two sections: “Ewha” and “Truth, Goodness, Beauty.” The Ewha section takes a multifaceted look at the university’s 140-year history, which began with Ewha Haktang, and the contributions of Ewha graduates to society through a wide range of historical materials and records. On display are school artifacts and photographs, including the desk used by Alice Appenzeller, the sixth principal of Ewha Haktang; a class bell from the Ewha Haktang era; diplomas; school and athletic uniforms; and a May Queen crown. The exhibition also includes an interactive space featuring historical figures and voices restored using AI technology and a video titled “140 Years of Ewha: From Memory to the Future,” providing a deeper understanding of Ewha’s 140-year history. There is also an AI-powered activity that lets visitors create and keep images of themselves wearing historical school uniforms, a hanbok commemorating the university’s 70th anniversary, a May Queen crown, or the university’s newly redesigned academic regalia. The “Truth, Goodness, Beauty” section highlights the spirit of Ewha through some of the university’s finest cultural heritages and donated artifacts. The “Truth” space features major documentary heritages, while the “Goodness” space presents donated artifacts that embody the values of sharing and dedication. The “Beauty” space showcases Ewha’s cultural achievements through exhibits on women archaeologists’ participation in early excavation projects, as well as the museum’s own research, excavations, and exhibitions. Exhibition highlights include White Porcelain Jar with Grape Design in Underglaze Iron (a National Treasure), as well as Sangho Dogam Uigwe Vol. II (a royal protocol on the conferment of honorific titles), Inscription on the Wall of Pyeongyang Fortress, Gisa-gyecheop (Album of Paintings of the Gatherings of Elders), and Jar with Plum, Bamboo, and Bird Design in Underglaze Blue (all Treasures).

Ewha Architecture Forum Features World-Renowned Architect Dominique Perrault

Ewha Architecture Forum Features World-Renowned Architect Dominique Perrault To commemorate the 140th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Korea and France, the 2026 Korea Herald Architecture Talk featuring renowned architect Dominique Perrault was held on April 7 at Lee Sam-bong Hall at the Ewha Campus Complex (ECC). Organized by The Korea Herald and sponsored by Ewha Womans University, the forum held special significance as the ECC is one of Perrault’s signature architectural works. Approximately 400 people attended the event, including architects and cultural figures from Korea and abroad, as well as students and members of the public. Distinguished attendees included Eun Mee Kim, Chairperson of the Board of Trustees of Ewha Womans University; Ewha President Hyang-Sook Lee; and French Ambassador Philippe Bertoux. President Lee said in her welcoming remarks, “This forum carries profound meaning, providing a platform for international dialogue through architecture in a year that marks both the 140th anniversary of Korea and France establishing diplomatic ties and the 140th anniversary of Ewha’s founding.” Next, Perrault took the stage to deliver a keynote lecture titled “Public Architecture: Ground, Light and the Civic Realm.” Drawing on projects such as the ECC and the Gangnam Intermodal Transit Center (GITC), he emphasized the need to reimagine the “ground” not as a mere boundary but as a functional and experiential space. Furthermore, he underscored that future urban development should focus on compact growth and green space conservation, rather than unchecked sprawl. After his lecture, Perrault joined a discussion with Sang-Hun Lee, emeritus professor of architecture at Konkuk University, on “Shaping Cities and Public Space in Korea and France.” The two discussed the role of public space and the direction of urban design, with Perrault noting that public space emerges through time, use, and memory.

Ewha Holds Dedication Ceremony for New Main Gate

Ewha Womans University held a dedication ceremony for its main gate on March 31 to mark its 140th anniversary, unveiling a newly built entrance that reflects the university’s storied history and status. The new main gate, which was completed after one month of construction beginning in February, is designed both to symbolize Ewha’s identity as it marks its 140th anniversary and to enhance student safety. Consisting of stone pillars and white gates, the gate’s lattice design incorporates Gothic motifs from the façade of the Welch-Ryang Auditorium, ensuring architectural cohesion across campus. The color of the pear blossom relief on the wall keeps the gate in harmony with the surrounding landscape. In addition, a folding gate system was introduced, allowing the white gates to retract into the pillars during normal operation for unobstructed passage and to extend when access is restricted, enhancing operational efficiency and ease of maintenance. Ewha’s main granite gate, which was built in 1958 as part of the post-Korean War campus reconstruction, is a historical site that has served both as a focal point of the democratization movement and a symbolic space for student interaction. It was relocated in 2002 following the demolition of Ewha Bridge and later reinstalled set back within an open forecourt, where it remains in use. The dedication ceremony at the main gate was attended by around 20 participants, including Eun Mee Kim, Chairperson of the Board of Trustees of Ewha Womans University; Ewha President Hyang-Sook Lee; and key university administrators, as well as representatives of the faculty and staff, students, and alumnae. President Hyang-Sook Lee remarked, “The newly renovated main gate embodies Ewha’s identity, rooted in 140 years of history and tradition, and also symbolizes a new beginning as we move toward the future. I hope the gate will serve as a meaningful place that rekindles cherished memories and pride among members of the Ewha community and shares Ewha’s values and spirit with all who visit.”
