    This place is a little off the beaten track. You have to want to come here, but for sure, I wasn't disappointed and the staff were so welcoming to me. I think they really appreciated my interest in the artworks here. There are two buildings exhibiting plus a sculpture garden in the middle. The paintings presented here emerge from artists' experience of Seoul from 2000 onwards. This collection reflects the artist's own reactions and interpretations of the places and people they encountered. This place provides a little oasis of calm, particularly in the sculpture garden, away from the over-visited and popular tourist sites of the city.

    Awesome art museum. I visited this art museum to see the articles of Guei-Hong Won. This is not large but it is enough to see articles. Thank you for the exhibition.
