About

Located in Hannam-dong, Seoul, Leeum, Museum of Art is Korea's representative private art museum where Korean traditional art, contemporary art, and international art harmoniously coexist. The three buildings, each designed by world-renowned architects Mario Botta, Jean Nouvel, and Rem Koolhaas, are evaluated as works of art in themselves. It offers deep artistic inspiration through a vast collection that crosses eras and genres, from National Treasure-level antique artworks to contemporary artworks by domestic and foreign masters.

Take a time of contemplation while experiencing a special space in the city center where architecture, art, and nature blend together.
