Why go

Seoul Museum: House of Memory for Nam June Paik is a public memorial space dedicated to Nam June Paik (1932–2006), the Seoul-born artist who founded video art as a contemporary medium and remains one of the most influential 20th-century artists of Korean origin. The site preserves a building tied to Paik's personal history in Seoul, presenting it as both a memorial and an interpretive space. Exhibits walk visitors through Paik's biography from his early years in Korea through his studies in Tokyo and Germany, his founding role in video art, his major works from the 1960s onward, and his ongoing influence on contemporary art globally. Period photographs, archival materials, and reproductions or original Paik works anchor the displays. Best for travelers seriously interested in 20th-century contemporary art and the global development of video art.
