Why go

The gallery runs about 8 to 10 exhibitions per year across its substantial Samcheong-dong main building (designed by SO-IL architects) and a smaller branch space. The Lee Ufan and Park Seo-bo dansaekhwa-related exhibitions in particular are essential reference points for serious contemporary art collectors. Free entry. Closed Sundays. About 60 minutes.
