The National Palace Museum of Korea and Deoksugung have inaugurated two concurrent exhibitions detailing the historical and cultural exchanges between Korea and France.

韓國國立中央博物館與德壽宮同時舉辦了兩場展覽，詳細介紹韓國與法國之間的歷史與文化交流。

The foundational framework for bilateral relations was established via the 1886 Treaty of Friendship and Commerce. This institutional rapprochement is evidenced by the joint exhibition of treaty documents and ratification records from the National Library of Korea and the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Historical antecedents of this relationship include an 1851 encounter between French consul Charles de Montigny and magistrate Yi Jeong-hyeon following the shipwreck of the Narval, an event commemorated by the display of an onggi wine bottle.

雙邊關係的基礎框架是透過 1886 年的《通商條約》建立的。這種制度上的親近，可以從韓國國立中央圖書館與法國外交部共同展出的條約文件與批准記錄中得到證實。這段關係的歷史前身包括 1851 年法國領事 Charles de Montigny 與官員 Yi Jeong-hyeon 在 Narval 號船難後的接觸，目前透過展出一個 onggi 酒瓶來紀念該事件。

Stakeholder positioning during the late 19th century is illustrated through the exchange of high-value diplomatic gifts. In 1888, President Marie Francois Sadi Carnot transmitted three Sevres porcelain vases to King Gojong. The Korean monarchy responded with a reciprocal shipment comprising historical texts and Goryeo celadon bowls. Of particular significance were the 'banhwa'—ornamental jeweled trees. According to the Korea Heritage Service, these objects functioned as conduits for auspicious symbolism and reflected the Joseon administration's strategic imperative to utilize diplomacy to mitigate external pressures during a period of systemic instability.

19 世紀末的利益相關者定位，透過交換高價值的外交禮品來體現。1888 年，總統 Marie Francois Sadi Carnot 送了三個 Sèvres 瓷花瓶給高宗皇帝。韓國王室則回禮送出包含歷史文獻與高麗青瓷碗的貨品。其中特別重要的是「盤花」（banhwa）——即裝飾性的珠寶樹。根據韓國文化財廳的說法，這些物件作為吉祥象徵的媒介，反映了朝鮮政府在系統不穩定時期，利用外交手段來減輕外部壓力的戰略需求。

Due to the fragility of the original banhwa currently housed in the Guimet Museum, the Korea Heritage Service commissioned artisan Kim Young-hee to produce high-fidelity reproductions using traditional jade, metal, and woodworking techniques. These reproductions, alongside other artifacts such as a Dior handbag and mother-of-pearl lacquerware, delineate the evolution of the bilateral relationship from the Joseon era to the contemporary period.

由於目前存放於吉美博物館的原件盤花十分脆弱，韓國文化財廳委託工匠 Kim Young-hee，使用傳統的玉石、金屬與木工技術製作了高精準度的複製品。這些複製品，連同 Dior 手袋與螺鈿漆器等其他文物，勾勒出雙邊關係從朝鮮時代演變至當代的過程。

The exhibitions remain open to the public through August, providing a comprehensive analysis of the diplomatic and material history shared by the two nations.

展覽將開放至 8 月，為公眾提供一次全面分析兩國共同外交與物質歷史的機會。
