Traveler reviews
Woo Young Kim
★★★★★8 months agoLeeum was a lot better than what we expected. As expected of the Samsung family their permanent collection was quite impressive! They also had Lee Bul and modern art exhibition which were pretty cool. Get the tickets with all the access! You can easily spend several hours checking out this place very well designed and so neat!
Sanjay Subhedar
★★★★★a month agoBeautiful museum. Particularly the modern. Section that has art from 1956 to 1976 all made by women artists and all interactive so that the viewer becomes part of the art itself. Big hit with the younger set
