An Eight-Panel Folding Screen with Hunting Scene, created during Joseon Dynasty King Jeongjo s reign in the late 18th century, was returned from the United States and went on display at the National Palace Museum of Korea starting Thursday.
The Overseas Korean Cultural Heritage Foundation, an affiliate of the Cultural Heritage Administration, purchased the artwork at Christie s auction house in New York last September for $930,000 (1.1 billion won).
