Uijae Museum of Korean Art (광주 의재미술관)

Uijae Museum of Korean Art is a public institutional art museum in Gwangju dedicated to Uijae Heo Baek-ryeon (1891-1977) — one of the major 20th-century Korean traditional Korean-painting masters whose work bridges the late-Joseon and modern Korean ink-painting traditions. The museum walks visitors through Uijae's biography, his major artistic works in the Korean traditional ink-painting style, his role in 20th-century Korean art history, and the broader Korean traditional-painting tradition. Period works, archival materials, and interpretive context anchor the museum. Best for travelers seriously interested in Korean traditional painting heritage.
