Special Exhibition in the Year of the Tiger : Tiger, From a Myth to the Everyday Life

Now the story about the tiger you could possibly hear is somewhere near us. There are differences of awareness between the present day made for us to see tigers in the zoo and the past told us about stories that people became prey of tigers. However the gap has been filled with changing the focus about tigers which represent holiness to humanism. The tiger, vicious and ferocious beast, is also mystical creature beating evil spirit. We would like to look into transition of the tiger as a symbol on our culture and history through this special exhibition. With this, we could find out how closely the images of the tiger are connected with us in the everyday life.
