Book timed entry tickets in advance online

Lee ShinJa spent decades turning thread into art without ever sitting in a textile class. This first North American survey traces how the Korean artist transformed embroidery and weaving into something gallery-worthy: delicate landscapes, abstract forms, and stitched poetry that defies every expectation of "women's craft."
