A Time We Ran Together: Horse Culture Through History

OMG, step into the Planning Exhibition Hall at Bokcheon Museum and meet a history built around people and horses! “A Time We Ran Together” centers on Bokcheon-dong Ancient Tombs, then opens the view to horse culture across the Korean Peninsula.

The big scene is not one isolated horse tale. It is a sweeping look at how the human-horse relationship changed through different eras—and how those changes carried symbolic meaning.

Here we go: the exhibition traces the historical changes of horse culture across the peninsula. As the story moves through eras, the horse becomes a way to read changing ideas about connection and meaning.

Look at that shift! The focus stays on the relationship itself, showing how horses were understood beside people and why that bond mattered in each age.

The programme is the exhibition itself, built around one connected trail of ideas: Bokcheon-dong Ancient Tombs, the peninsula’s changing horse culture, and the era-by-era symbols tied to human-horse relationships.

Read it as a history trail, a relationship story, or a closer look at how symbols change over time. Ta-da—one theme gives you several ways in!

For families, dates, and friend groups, this is a strong conversation starter. Which era gave horses the biggest meaning, and what does that reveal about the people who lived alongside them?
