Each country has its own mask art. If you see a traditional mask from each country can see also the universality and uniqueness of its culture at the time simultaneously. In Korea, there are mask dances scattered in various regions. The main content of the dance is "Rumor and Satire" of the past. Mask dance generally brought by ordinary people, which contains sadness in their life. The mask dance contains a load of causal retribution, allusions about the immorality of the ruling class, and the sorrow of the common people.

The exhibition with the theme "Rumor and Satire" displays 30 works. Consist of the Hae-hae mask from the Hwanghae Province area, the Sandaenori mask from the Seoul area, Gyeonggi Province, Byeolsingut masks based on the Shamanic "Gut" ritual, then Yaryu and Ogwangdae masks from the Busan area, South Gyeongsang Province.
