Korea Corner Grand Opening

4-5pm

On Friday 29 October 2021, following the 2021 Korea Update, we will be holding the Grand Opening of the new Korea Corner from 4-5pm as a virtual event.

The ANU Korea Institute and the Republic of Korea Embassy in Canberra warmly invite you to the grand opening of the Korea Corner.

The Korea Corner is a new bespoke space in the HC Coombs building on the ANU Acton campus, featuring Korean design details.

It is a dedicated space which represents Korean Studies and Korean culture within the Australian National University. It is open to students, staff and the general public, providing a beautiful venue for Korea-related academic and cultural events and gatherings for faculty, students, residents, and visitors to the Korea Institute.
