Known forworld-classcontemporary artarchitecturepremium
A world-class private art museum designed by three architectural giants — Mario Botta, Jean Nouvel, and Rem Koolhaas — housing both Korean traditional art and contemporary international works. The collection ranges from Goryeo celadon ceramics to pieces by Damien Hirst and Lee Ufan, and the building itself is a destination. It's the kind of museum that genuinely impresses even seasoned art travelers. Tickets are pricey but the experience justifies it; book online in advance.
