Modern art meets tradition and East meets West at The Leeum Museum. The museum is split into 2 sections, one for Korean traditional art and antiquities, and the other for modern art by both Korean and international artists. I found the Korean antiquities to be a bit boring, and if you're like me, you can speed through that section and dedicate most of your time to the modern art, which includes some awesome larger and full-room installations. You can easily view the whole museum in 2 hours. Since it's walking distance from the Grand Hyatt and Namsan Tower, it pairs nicely with brunch at the Hyatt or a walk up to Seoul Tower for a compete day.

    There are many attractions nearby. If you have time to visit this area, it is still very recommended. Many art exhibits are in it. Although the layman does not know much about this, it is also very good to edify it.

    The gallery consists of three museums, Hall 1 is a Swiss designer, Hall 2 is a French designer, Hall 3 is a Dutch designer. So, Chongyang Meiwai is a common problem in Asia. Worth a visit!

    Modern art elements are diverse, and you can also put your luggage and have a guide machine for free. Those who don't understand Korean can also change the language and learn a good place to learn new knowledge.

    [Seoul to see exhibition] Samsung Art Museum Leeum that you can't miss in Seoul! [Samsung Art Museum Leeum] 55th Street, Itaiyuan Road, Longshan District, Seoul, South Korea 60-16⏰ Business hours: 10:30-18:00⭐️ Per capita: 60 yuan Leeum Art Museum name comes from the surname of Samsung family Lee plus the um of the British Museum, become Leeum, L is the largest private art in South Korea, very amazing, very worth a visit! The exterior of the museum shows the image of the ancient Seoul city surrounded by the city wall with red bricks, giving people a quiet and deep, and the artistic atmosphere is super rich. It is definitely a good place for literary youth. From Korean national treasure-class traditional art to modern art and world art, the ticket is 10,000 won, and the total number of museums visited, Museum1 and Museum2. Museum1 exhibits ancient art works, which are inspired by the famous Swiss architect Mario Botta from traditional Korean ceramics. It uses terracotta symbols that symbolize soil and fire. The extremely simple cube and inverted cone shape are like the symbol of Mario • Bota architectural design. More than 120 pieces of Korean ceramics are displayed, from prehistoric times to the Korean era. Museum2 exhibits modern works, designed by French architect Jean Nouvel , is the world's first museum with stainless steel and glass, the design feature is to retain the natural shape of the underground wall when the foundation is hit, with the theme of "Things blend", Shows the exchange and collision of art between East and West at the same time. The Samsung Children's Education and Culture Center designed by Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas highlights the sense of future space, but it is not open. Very interestingly, the starting point of the exhibition here is to look from the top to the bottom, that is to say, at the beginning, you have to take the elevator to the top floor and then go shopping on the next floor. Photos are not allowed in the collection, and you can take pictures at will elsewhere. Favorite second-floor stairs, taking pictures is very large technology sense.

    There are many famous paintings, so even though the scale is a bit small, the value of the exhibits is the size of a national museum. I think I'm doing a lot of contemporary art exhibitions.
