"Solo Leveling" themed exhibition is an immersive hunter adventure experience specially designed for global manga and anime fans, perfectly recreating the fantasy world of this top-tier action-packed work. The exhibition adopts an immersive storyline adventure mode where visitors become rookie E-rank hunters, starting their journey from the Hunter Association registration office and progressing through iconic scenes like the Dual Dungeon, King's Audience Chamber, and Ant King's Nest. The exhibition area showcases a vast collection of officially licensed original artwork, storyboard sketches, and character design materials, fully presenting the creative details from manga to anime. Life-size 1:1 statues of ultra-popular characters like Igris and the Ant King make a stunning appearance, recreating the visual impact of famous scenes. Interactive challenge zones and skill experience installations are set up on-site, along with a dedicated mission stamp system, allowing visitors to personally experience protagonist Sung Jin-Woo's growth journey from hunter to Shadow Monarch.

The exhibition will showcase over 50 works from the artist's career, encompassing various forms including installation, sculpture, and painting, many of which have never been exhibited in Asia before. It includes some of Hirst's most representative series, such as *Natural History* (formaldehyde sculpture), *Rotating Painting*, *Medicine Cabinet*, *Cherry Blossoms*, and *Spots and Butterflies Painting*. The exhibition traces the development of Hirst's most famous themes. Throughout his artistic career, Hirst has consistently explored the intricate relationship between beauty, religion, science, life, and death.

This exhibition breaks down the rigid framework of daily life, transforming familiar landscapes into absurd, humorous, and unexpected scenes. Visitors will enjoy sculptures, installations, photographs, videos, and even commercial projects—a comprehensive glimpse into Max Siddentop's playful creativity. Highlights include "possibly the world's largest jigsaw puzzle" and a three-meter-tall statue of the artist himself, promising a delightful surreal experience.

In the 17th century, a new type of white porcelain with a beveled surface emerged. These wheel-forged vessels were "chamfered" into octagonal, or, in rare cases, hexagonal, or even decagonal, shapes. In a society that emphasized frugality, we hope you'll appreciate the subtle elegance of this white porcelain, created through the harmonious blend of angles and surfaces achieved through the chamfering technique.
