About

It is said that the name of Mullae-dong, which was formed with the establishment of textile factories in the 1930s, originated from the 'mullae' (spinning wheel) used to spin thread. In the 1970s, it enjoyed a boom as a dense area of steelworks producing machine parts, but as the industrial structure changed, the number of empty factories increased. Since the 2000s, artists seeking affordable workspaces have gathered here, transforming it into a unique space where cold steelworks, colorful murals, and workshops create a strange harmony.

It is a representative culture and art village in Seoul where the sounds of iron from the steel alley, the works of artists, and long-standing shops with an old-fashioned atmosphere come together.
