San Francisco officials announced on Thursday a new five-year cultural partnership between the city’s Asian Art Museum and South Korea’s National Museum of Korea aimed at expanding artistic exchange and collaboration.<\/p>\n
Mayor Daniel Lurie said the memorandum of understanding, signed in Seoul, will promote exhibitions, research, and public programming while strengthening ties between San Francisco and South Korea.<\/p>\n
The agreement comes as the two cities mark the 50th anniversary of the sister-city relationship between San Francisco and Seoul, according to a press release.<\/p>\n
City officials said the partnership is part of broader efforts to boost San Francisco’s economic recovery through arts and culture, including initiatives to support live events and strengthen local institutions.<\/p>\n
Lurie signed the agreement during his first international trip as mayor, which included visits to China and South Korea focused on cultural partnerships and tourism.<\/p>\n
