Located along Gyeongbokgung Palace, the Seoul branch of the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea, is where you can enjoy Korean contemporary art, as its name suggests. There are many large-scale projects of different types being held at the same time, and each floor has a completely different look. There are also permanent art pieces in the corridors and spaces other than the exhibition galleries, so you can enjoy them without getting bored. I also think it's great that students up to university age and people over 65 can view the exhibitions for free. In addition to painting exhibitions, there are also moving sculptures and programs that viewers can participate in and experience, so anyone can enjoy art! #Seoul #ArtMuseum #NationalMuseumofModern and ContemporaryArtKorea

What comes to mind when you think of culture?🤔 I think of art museums~ I'm not very knowledgeable about art, but since my younger sister studies art, I end up going to art museums with her without even realizing it😂 The art museum I'm introducing to you today is "National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul"❤️ Opening hours 🎨🖼️ Mon ~ Sun (daily) 10:00 ~ 18:00 (Wed, Sat ~ 21:00) I went to see artist Woo Ram Choi's exhibition!👍 As you can see in the picture, "Round Table" is really famous, right? The sight of the ragtag people struggling not to drop the balls on the round table seemed to represent our difficult daily lives!

This is the exhibition of 'Here, the Rising Land' by artist Lim Ok-sang, which displays works that are difficult to capture at a glance. I heard that it was a masterpiece, but when I saw it with my own eyes, I couldn't help but be amazed by its scale. Since the paintings are also masterpieces, it takes quite a bit of time to appreciate them slowly. This exhibition was planned to focus on the current activities and work of Lim Ok-sang, who started out in realism art and expanded his artistic domain to land art and environmental art. The new works, newly presented by utilizing the site-specific conditions and situations in the Seoul Museum, shed new light on the essence of the artist's artistic world as well as the artist's overall artistic world in a broader context. ========================= 🧳 National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, 'Im Ok-sang: Here, the Rising Land' 📍 Location: 30 Samcheong-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul ⏰️ Operating hours: 10:00~18:00 (Wed, Sat ~21:00) ■ Exhibition tip: The exhibition is free when it is open at night. The 'Rising Land' work is in the basement, so be sure to go down the stairs to see it. The 'Black Puddle' work is currently difficult to see directly due to freezing. It can only be seen through the window. #Exhibition #SeoulTravel #DateCourse #SeoulExhibition

The third 'Project Hashtag' held this year is a project that experiments with a new platform for art by meeting artists, planners, and researchers from various fields, breaking away from the competition focused on pure art. The 'Project Hashtag 2022' showcase exhibits projects from two teams, Lost Air and Crypton. I recommend the exhibitions of two young artist teams. You will quickly fall in love with their unique charm. ========================= 🧳 National Seoul Museum of Art, Seoul 📍 Location: 30 Samcheong-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul ⏰️ Operating hours: 10:00~18:00 (Wednesday and Thursday nights until 21:00) #Exhibition#SeoulTravel#SeoulExhibition#ExhibitionDate

I went to see the late Lee Kun-hee Collection Special Exhibition with my artist friend at 10 AM on Wednesday. I arrived 15 minutes early, but there were quite a few people waiting before the opening, even though it was a weekday morning. The late Lee Jung-seop's work gave me an inexplicable sense of peace the whole time I was there. There were many other impressive works, and it was even more crowded in the evening. I paid 4,000 won to see it in the morning, but it was free from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM, so I was able to enjoy it twice:) #LeeJungSeop #LeeKunHeeCollection #LeeKunHeeSpecialExhibition

The weather is getting colder and colder for outdoor activities, so an exhibition date is perfect! Did you know that the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art is also open late on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 6 PM to 9 PM? ☺️ The fact that you can see the exhibition even after work is so appealing! Plus, it's free admission~ #indoordate #nationalmuseumofmodernart #exhibition #exhibitionrecommendation #angukhotplace #angukstation

#Exhibition #LeeKunHeeCollection #LeeJungSeob #Date #QuietContemplation The postcard painting and silver paper painting are really attractive. It was a time to feel his artistic world, love for his family, and longing while looking at LeeJungSeob's works that I had never seen before. I recommend the special exhibition of LeeJungSeob with his attractive painting style.

The Little Ark by Choi Woo-ram, which can be seen at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul, is an exhibition planned in the form of a performance that reconstructs our current reality. Starting with the well-known Round Table, I found myself drawn into the works installed under the names of Red, Angel, and Infinite Space. Since it is an installation art, each work starts at a different time, so I think it would be good to keep this in mind before going! #Exhibition #National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art #Seoul Exhibition

South Korea's business and cultural hub, lined with skyscrapers towering over palaces and pagodas. From neon-lit futuristic skyscrapers to Buddhist temples, palaces and pagodas, Seoul is a perfect blend of the old and the new. Take in sweeping views from N Seoul Tower atop Namsan Park. The teahouses and shops in Insadong offer a taste of Korea. Then, visit the Gyeongbokgung Palace and Museum. Changdeokgung Palace is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is a stunning example of authentic ancient architecture. #KoreaTravel #Seoul
