If you want to give a 'new experience' as a Christmas gift, What other exhibition is better than this?

You can just enjoy this space from various seats. 🌳 Address : B1, Walkerhill Hotel, 177 Walkerhill-ro, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul (Free shuttle from Gwangnaru Station or Gangbyeon Station recommended) 🌻 Admission : Adults 20,000 won [Operating hours] 10:00 AM ~ 7:10 PM ⚘ Tip : The 2nd floor is better for taking pictures and appreciating the entire work.

Fantastic Light Theater Exhibition... 🌟 If you ask me to recommend a Seoul trip or Seoul exhibition, I think I have to recommend Light Theater without fail. It's really different from the media art I saw at Dongdaemun DDP. The camera really can't capture the exhibition. You really have to come in person to enjoy the grandeur and moving art pieces. It's a place I really want to recommend if you come on a date on the weekend or at the end of the year.. 🥺 📌 Tip! There's a shuttle bus from Gwangnaru Station and Gangbyeon Station, so you can conveniently use the exhibition. #LightTheater #Ho-cation #WalkerhillHotel #SeoulExhibition #SeoulTravel #Let'sTravel

I went to an exhibition at Walkerhill Hotel 'Theater of Light'✨ I felt like I was in Klimt and Klein's works. Should I say it's like a journey that keeps changing even if I stay still? I want to stay there for 2 hours. It's like I'm in Europe and it's really, really ecstatic! If you want to feel exotic in Korea, I highly recommend it!

#Seoul Attractions The Seoul Light Theater is not only an architectural wonder, but also a microcosm of Seoul's spirit of "symbiosis between technology and nature." Whether you are simply checking in and taking photos, or deeply experiencing the city's transformation process, this place can provide an experience that exceeds your expectations. It is recommended to set aside 2-3 hours to plan a day trip with nearby attractions and fully immerse yourself in the charm of Seoul at night! 1. Basic Information Overview • Address: 128 Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul (7017 Seoul-ro) • Opening hours: 10:00-22:00 daily (it is recommended to go after 18:30 for the best light and shadow effects) • Tickets: Free admission (some special exhibitions require advance reservations) • Transportation: ◦ Subway: Line 5, Yeouinaru Station, Exit 3, then walk for 15 minutes; or take the free shuttle bus (available on weekends and holidays). ◦ Bus: Take bus No. 139 or 337 to Sangam-dong Seoullo Entrance stop. 2. Must-experience highlights 1. Dome of Light and Spiral Staircase • Architectural wonder: Designed by the Dutch firm MVRDV, the entire building is made up of red, blue and yellow glass curtains, presenting completely different visual effects during the day and at night. During the day, the light transmittance creates colorful shadows, while at night, the internal LED lights penetrate the glass, making it look like a giant lantern suspended in the air. • Photo center: ◦ Spiral Staircase: The red spiral staircase leading to the second floor is set against a geometrically cut glass wall, allowing you to capture the gradient colors of light and shadow when photographing. ◦ Panoramic view of the atrium: Use a wide-angle lens to symmetrically shoot the reflection of the dome and the ground pool, creating a sci-fi feeling of "heaven and earth connected". 2. Immersive light and shadow interactive exhibition • Permanent Exhibition Area: ◦ Poetry of Light: Interactive light spots are projected on the ground, creating a ripple effect as the audience moves, symbolizing the pulse of Seoul. ◦ "Color Vortex": The triangular prism structure is matched with color-changing LEDs, which switch tones according to the rhythm of the music. It is suitable for recording short videos. • Special exhibition information: Themes are changed regularly (such as seasonal light and shadow shows), so it is recommended to check the official website announcement before traveling. 3. Seoullo 7017 Night Ecological Corridor • Extended exploration: The Seoullo 7017 where the Theater of Light is located is a sky garden transformed from an elevated bridge, where multiple art installations are connected at night: ◦ Rain Rhythm: The steel tube structure glows with the change of rain, providing a better experience on rainy days. ◦ Honeycomb: Thousands of LED honeycomb modules change brightness according to the density of people, a metaphor for the symbiosis of technology and nature. 3. Practical strategies and tips • Best time: ◦ Dusk (18:30-19:30): Capture the gradual transition from the last rays of the setting sun to the first lights. ◦ Weekend nights: There are regular musical fountain performances after 19:30, which are even more stunning when paired with light and shadow shows. • Avoid the crowds: ◦ There are fewer people in the mornings on weekdays, which is suitable for static photography; it is recommended to go during off-peak hours on weekends (such as after 20:30). • Outfit suggestions: ◦ Solid-colored shirts (especially black, white, and gray) can better highlight the contrast between light and shadow; avoid overly shiny materials to avoid reflections. • Hidden gameplay: ◦ Get an AR map at the theater entrance and scan specific locations to trigger virtual light and shadow effects. ◦ Go to the Light Lab coffee shop on the first floor and order a cup of "Neon Special", which will come with a glow-in-the-dark sticker on the rim of the cup as a souvenir. 4. Peripheral linkage gameplay • Local food recommendations: ◦ Mapoya (5-minute walk): Enjoy Korean street food such as spicy rice cakes and fish soup. ◦ Cafe Layered: This is a light and shadow themed cafe. Its signature glass bottle latte can be photographed with a gradient sheen. • Extended attractions: ◦ Night view of 63 Building (10 minutes by car): Go up to the 63rd floor observatory and take in the night view of the Han River and the Theater of Light. ◦ Hongik University District (3 subway stations): Experience youth culture and open-air art markets. 5. Deepening the cultural implications • A model of urban regeneration: Seoullo 7017 was originally an elevated railway in the 1970s. It was converted into an ecological public space in 2017, symbolizing Seoul’s transformation from an industrial city to a cultural and creative capital. • Eco-sustainable design: ◦ The theater’s exterior glass is made of low-reflective material to reduce energy consumption; the garden is planted with more than 200 native plants to attract nocturnal insects. ◦ Exhibitions often incorporate environmental issues, such as “Plastic Light”, which uses recycled ocean plastic bottles to create a light installation.

It is located in the Walkerhill Hotel. It is a huge theater that has been renovated into an art gallery. As the name of the Theater of Light suggests, you can enjoy an incredibly splendid feast of light. The exhibitions change periodically, but it is satisfying no matter when you visit. It is a sibling of the Bunker of Light in Jeju Island. Both are great. #2025OverseasTravelEvent

Visiting Théâtre des Lumières was an unforgettable experience that left me in awe of the power of light and art. Located in the heart of the city, this immersive venue blends cutting-edge technology with stunning artistic projections to create a captivating multi-sensory journey. From the moment I stepped inside, I was transported into a world where art, history, and technology collided in the most magical way. The highlight of the experience was the immersive light show, which beautifully combines dynamic visual art with classical music. The projections on the walls, ceilings, and even the floors create an all-encompassing experience that makes you feel like you're part of the artwork itself. Each performance is different, with themes that range from the works of famous artists like Van Gogh to abstract, contemporary creations. #timelessbeauty

#IndoorDate . The Theater of Light, located in the basement of Walkerhill Seoul, is a huge immersive exhibition hall. 😊 World-class artworks reinterpreted with digital technology fill the walls and floors, creating a fantastic atmosphere. 😍 In particular, the theater control panel on one side was very popular with children because they could touch it. It is a space where you can stimulate your imagination while appreciating the artwork and make special memories at the experiential photo zone! 🔹️The Theater of Light 177 Walkerhill-ro, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, B1, Walkerhill Hotel

#IndoorDate . The Light Theater is a special space where you can fully immerse yourself in the world of art with light and images. 😉 It's my personal favorite media art exhibition hall. You can have a unique experience where you can walk and feel inside the artwork and awaken new senses. I highly recommend visiting the Light Theater, where art and technology come together.^^ . 🔹️Light Theater 177 Walkerhill-ro, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, B1 Walkerhill Hotel

#IndoorDate The Light Theater is the ultimate immersive media art, an art space that reinterprets the works of Dutch masters with light and music😊😊 Currently, under the theme of 'From Vermeer to Van Gogh', the works of Vermeer, Rembrandt, and Van Gogh are sensually recreated, inviting the audience into the world of art. Thanks to the experience of seeing the masterpieces come to life on a huge digital canvas that unfolds 360 degrees, it is perfect for feeling the emotion itself rather than simply watching them😉😉 Enjoy a feast of light and color on the first basement floor of Walkerhill Hotel & Resort! Address: 177 Walkerhill-ro, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul.

#0yentravelnovember In Korea, the theater space is interesting because it combines sound with project mapping that draws the space into the world of the artist's work. The Theater of Light in Seoul, which opened in 2022, goes beyond the concept of a museum being a place to view exhibitions and is a complex cultural and artistic space that stimulates the five senses. When I visited, there was a video show with Klimt's paintings as the motif. In addition to the world of Klimt's paintings, the show also included the cityscape of Vienna and the world of Egon Schiele, and lasted for 30 minutes. Other advertisements for video creators were also shown repeatedly. I may have watched it three times. Each time I watched it, I changed my position, so the images that jumped into my eyes were different, and the way the images spread changed, so I was able to enjoy the sparkling golden world. The swirling spiral is a typical motif of Klimt, the branch of the Tree of Life, "Stocleslis". The real thing I saw at the Austrian Museum of Applied Arts was also painted on a large canvas. Klimt may have had an image of something spreading out full of vitality like this. Klimt's world jumped out of the painting and I enjoyed it as a space. It matched well with classical music, and even if the viewers were watching the images, they were perceived as part of the space, so it didn't bother me. The main artist's world changes depending on the season, so I would like to go again when there are different people. Klimt was highly recommended. Théâtre des Lumières (Theatre of Light) Piseshioto / Bin's Theater 22-1, Gangjeong-dong, Seoul, Hong Kong Hong Kong B1F Opening hours 10:00-19:10 (last entry 18:15) Closed during exhibition preparation period

#Domestic travel #Exhibition . I visited the Theater of Light, a large-scale immersive media art exhibition hall that will leave you amazed by its overwhelming scale when you first enter.

I heard that there are many repeat visits, and it was indeed an exhibition I wanted to see many times. . 🔹️Theater of Light 177 Walkerhill-ro, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, B1, Walkerhill Hotel
