Traveler reviews
Joe Bryan
★★★★★10 months agoWas lucky to be in Seoul during the exhibition of dozens of Cezanne and Renoir art work and photographs loaned, in celebration of 100 years of diplomacy with France, from both the Musée de l'Orangerie and the Musée d'Orsay in Paris. Although no picture taking was permitted at all, it was a privilege to see this exhibition. It was fairly packed and I had to get a pass to come back in 1hr and 45m to get in, but again, worth it. Very well done exhibition, well curated, and excellent juxtapositioning between works of both these two masters as well as a couple Picasso and Matisse. Do go if you have the opportunity.
