Traveler reviews
Michael Goodine
★★★★★Edited 6 months agoThis one is way out there in the northern reaches of the city. But worth the trip, I suppose. Like all of the SEMA facilities the art tends towards the avant-garde. It is a pretty big spot, so you might be able to spend a few hours. Also check out the library on the top floor. It has a ton of books (non-circulating) about art in both English and Korean.
Christian Oliveira
★★★★★a year agoDespite not being listed as a major tourist attraction nor being located near the most touristic parts of Seoul, I visited this museum and rather enjoyed it. It's actually smaller than I imagined it to be, so don't expect to spend any more than 30 min to one hour to have a look at everything there. Free entrance, and exhibition guides and videos were translated into English.
