Seoul Museum
서울 미술관
Meet contemporary art exhibitions and historical Joseon Dynasty sites all in one spot
Wonderful place to showcase artwork and inspire kids to create
An art museum that regularly hosts special exhibitions. If you're in Buam-dong, a neighborhood in the city center where modern buildings blend with preserved old buildings, it's worth a look. The museum exhibits works by well-known Korean and international artists on the theme of contemporary art, and it also offers children's programs, making it an excellent place for families to visit.
Old Hanok and 'Seokpajeong' with a quaint atmosphere
Outdoor space for relaxation following the exhibition. On the 4th floor of the building, there is an outdoor space with a panoramic view of Buam-dong and Hanok(traditional Korean house) that have been arranged to create a peaceful environment. The entrance to Seokpajeong, a pavilion that served as a villa for Heungseon Daewon-gun, is here, and the combined ticket includes Seokpajeong, so you can explore it together.
