Australian Mackenzie Family’s Journey in Korea explores the invaluable friendship that formed between Australia and Korea by introducing the story of the Australian missionary family’s journey in Korea. This exhibition features a series of photographs and documents left by the Mackenzie sisters (Dr. Helen P. Mackenzie, 1913-2009 and Miss Catherine Mackenzie, 1915-2005) as well as a short documentary film. While the year 2021 marks the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries, this exhibition reminds us of Australia’s devotion and dedication made to Korea 100 years ago, which has contributed to the development of strong bonds that have lasted since then.
