Description

Two, enamel and yarn, Korean, wall hangings. The enameled plaques, depicting Korean cranes, are 15 cm in diameter and the overall length of the hangings is 105 cm. During the 1980s AECL contracted to provide employees of the Korean Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) nuclear-related training via the “40 Man-year Training Program”.  On completion of the program these hangings were given to Bill Howatt and Eva Gallagher in appreciation for their part in providing human resources support for the trainees and their families and assisting them in adapting to Canadian living.
