Never-before-seen North Korea - a rare glimpse into the country behind the regime and the creativity behind the propaganda

This incredible collection of prints dating from

the 1950s to the twenty-first century is the only

one of its kind in or outside North Korea.

Depicting the everyday lives of the country´s

train conductors, steelworkers, weavers,

farmers, scientists, and fishermen, these unique

lino-cut and woodblock prints are a fascinating

way to explore the culture of this still virtually

unknown country. Together, they are an

unparalleled testament to the talent of North

Korea´s artists and the unique social, cultural,

and political conditions in which they work.
