In a move to celebrate the 577th anniversary of the proclamation of the Korean alphabet and further promote the Korean language and culture, actor Song Hye-kyo teamed up with professor Seo Kyung-duk to donate a Korean language map to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), Oct. 9, on the occasion of Hangeul Day.
On the LACMA's homepage, the museum's campus map is available in English, Spanish and now Korean and under the Korean map, it notes that it was created thanks to the donations of Song and Seo.
"Launching a Korean map on the LACMA's website is meaningful as it marks the first instance of the museum offering its map in a language other than English or Spanish," Seo wrote on his social media account, Monday.
Seo added that visitors could use the Korean map to locate various exhibits within the museum and then refer to the Korean-language guide for a more in-depth tour.
The launch of the Korean map follows an earlier initiative in June when the duo donated a comprehensive Korean-language guide to LACMA, which was made available for free to Korean visitors.
