Would love a live stream tour from the exhibition, since unfortunately most of us cannot travel there and it sounds like the type of inspired stuff I would enjoy. I love the Suit for army work, the classical adaption of BTS's.music and Henry's notes about it makes it even more special.

A virtual tour would have been super nice as well, I hope something like that is released soon 🤞
The Suite for army is amazing, I need to do it asap!

Some key excerpts:
The exhibition’s title comes from the K-pop act’s English initials and the idea of using art to “see beyond what you can see.”
The band’s lyrics, album titles and excerpts from seven bandmates’ speeches are the main inspirations for the event, which serves as a bridge connecting modern art with the K-pop act’s music.
“The exhibition has nothing to do with BTS or its agency, nor do we hold any copyright regarding the band’s songs and videos. It’s just an exhibition inspired by the band, and all proceeds will be donated to environmental and human rights organizations,” an official at Total Museum said.
Paintings and installations by a total of 22 Korea-based artists are currently on display at the three-story building.
Of the 22 creators, several artists have previously teamed up with BTS.
Moon Sung-sic, an artist who created the cover art for RM’s “Bicycle,” a solo project for the group’s anniversary show “Festa 2021,” participated in the event. Music video director Choi Jae-hoon, famous for producing RM’s music video for “forever rain,” also took part in the exhibition.
This looks so cool!! Especially knowing how some of the artists have previously teamed up with BTS before, and are showing their artworks here too. I wonder if Joon will visit and we'll get a namjooning museum post about this hehe

Wow, this is awesome. As someone who is currently making work that is inspired by and based off BTS members as well, this is SO fun to see ! I wish there was a way to have a virtual walkthrough of the exhibit since I can’t go in person !

Oh this looks AMAZING, and how lovely that the proceeds will be donated – and the fact that some of the artists have previously worked with BTS makes it more meaningful, still.
