This short article on Daoism/Taoism acts as a very nice and concise introduction to the religion. The website shows comparisons between Daoism/Taoism with other Asian based religions. Additionally, there are sources for this article linked, and that could help me in my research on the religion.

Starting December 2013 and ending in March 2014, the National Museum of Korea held an exhibit dubbed, "Taoist Culture in Korea: The Road to Happiness." The exhibit featured hundreds of pieces of Taoist art and other artifacts from earlier dynasties and kingdoms. One of the few notable artifacts present at the exhibition was the Baekje Gilt-Bronze Incense Burner, which is known for its heavy influence from Buddhism and Taoism.
