Things to do in Seogwipo, Jeju Island: The Best Art Museums
On the south side of Jeju Island, Seogwipo offers swanky hotels, rugged cliffs, popular beaches and gorgeous waterfalls. The volcanic-rock cliffs located around Jungmun beach are a wonder. Make sure to visit the viewing platform to take in the spectacular vistas. A coastal city, Seogwipo's many activities revolve around the ocean, including diving and submarine tours. Many of the restaurants specialize in fresh, local seafood. There's also much to see and do inland, including temples, art museums, amusement parks and botanical gardens.

Bonte Museum was designed by Tadao Ando who designed scores of museums (including the Suntory Museum in Osaka) in Japan so the building itself is very photogenic. The complex is divided into five galleries with one of them permanently housing two works by Yayoi Kusama, Pumpkin and the Infinity Mirrored Room (each visitor gets two minutes inside). One gallery is dedicated to Tadao Ando’s meditation room while the rest of the artwork inside rotates. The other three galleries were pretty bland with one dedicated to Korean traditional crafts and the other two dedicated to temporary exhibitions. Each gallery is relatively small with the entire museum taking a little over an hour to check out. The spacious surrounding area is a nice spot to chill after checking out the art if the weather is nice and despite the steep admission, it was still a worthwhile stop.
5. Bunker de Lumieres

There is a secret bunker at on Jeju Island, which once housed old national communication facility and had remained unknown to the public for a long time. This large structure is covered with soil and trees, thus disguised to look like a mountain. This old national facility will be reborn as “Bunker de Lumieres”, a media art exhibition hall that will become Jeju's new landmark for culture and art.

Don't miss this show if u are in Jeju. Only available & performing until October 2020....awesome immersive show. @ 빛의 벙커 Bunker de Lumières. The floors and walls become the canvas of this highly immersive digital art that come to life, as Van Gogh's art work are displayed all over and synchronised with beautiful clasical music. Definitely worth the more than an hour show. We enjoyed it tremendously!
6. Jeju Folk Village (Jeju Minsokchon)

I have been to many traditional folk villages in Korea, but this Jeju Folk Village is one of the most beautiful folk villages in Korea. If you are a fan of the Korean drama Dae Jang Geum also known as Jewel in the Palace, you should visit this folk village as it is one of the filming locations of that Korean drama. Also, I highly recommend renting a hanbok to take beautiful pictures by walking around the village. We had only 2 hours to explore, but it wasn’t enough to cover the whole folk village. Here you can experience a unique activity – to read comics and even play games on mini arcade machines in a traditional house.

I visited the African Museum in Jeju Island. First, we could see the performances of people from Ghana. Traditional singing, dancing, and playing musical instruments created an exciting atmosphere. I could learn a little bit about their culture and tradition by listening to the explanation. In the African Museum, you can see sculptures and dolls of various animals living there. It was very fantnstic. It was also fun to take pictures together. If I visit Jeju Island again someday, I want to visit this place again.
