Kim Young Gap Gallery Dumoak

Kim Young Gap Gallery Dumoak on Jeju is the dedicated memorial gallery to photographer Kim Young Gap (1957-2005), who spent the last 20 years of his life photographing Jeju's landscape and ultimately died of Lou Gehrig's disease at the gallery itself. Kim's photographs — particularly his images of Jeju's middle-mountain plains and seasonal grass-and-pampas fields — are considered the most influential single body of Jeju landscape photography. The gallery, in a redeveloped abandoned schoolhouse, holds about 80 of his original prints, his personal journals, and his photographic equipment. The setting on Jeju's eastern flank in a quiet rural area matches the contemplative quality of Kim's work. Free entry. About 90 minutes. Pair with broader Jeju eastern attractions.
