Exhibit Opening for Living Connections: The Arnold Arboretum and Korea

About

For more than a century, the Arnold Arboretum has been connected to Korea through plants and scientific exchange. The new Living Connections exhibit brings together rare archival images, living collections, and contemporary partnerships to explore Korea’s botanical heritage and the evolving relationship between the Arboretum and Korean institutions. Living Connections traces a story from early plant exploration to modern collaboration, showing how historic collections continue to support research, conservation, and cultural understanding today. — For more than a century, the Arnold Arboretum has been connected to Korea through plants and scientific exchange.
