Known forcontemporaryart museumcentral Seoulemerging artists
SeMA's main branch occupies a striking building adjacent to Deoksugung Palace and presents ambitious contemporary Korean and international art exhibitions that punch above their weight. The programming is adventurous and often features emerging Korean artists before they break internationally. The palace-adjacent location makes it easy to combine with a stroll through Deoksugung. Some exhibitions have limited English wall text, so a guided tour or audio guide is worth seeking out.
