What to do and see in Wonseo-dong, South Korea: The Best Things to do
Seoul is the business and cultural hub of South Korea, where skyscrapers tower over Buddhist temples. Take it all in from the N Seoul Tower, built atop a peak in Namsan Park. The teahouses and shops of Insadong give you a taste of Korean flavor, which you can further experience with a visit to the grounds and museums of Gyeongbokgung. UNESCO World Heritage Site Changdeokgung Palace is a fine example of authentic ancient architecture.

Kate Kim Su-Kun’s Space Office building, which occupies an important position in Korea’s contemporary history of architecture, reopens as ARARIO MUSEUM in SPACE on September 1st, 2014. ARARIO MUSEUM is a contemporary art museum, born out of a collection compiled by ARARIO Inc.’s founder Kim Chang-il’s unique taste in and passion for art. ARARIO MUSEUM in SPACE aims to become a central location for cultures and arts where visitors can share and communicate their artistic experiences, by continuously introducing a wide variety of domestic and overseas art works that harbor historical, social, and cultural values, augmenting the historical significance of the existing building with the cultural values of contemporary art. The Arario collection comprises contemporary art works that have been collected over 35 years by the hands of Chairman Kim Chang-il. Chairman Kim, who was mainly focusing on modern and contemporary Korean art works, began to build a systematic collection of domestic and overseas contemporary art pieces with a renewed taste after visiting an exhibit held at The Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles in 1981, which left him with a deep impression. He expanded the scope of his collection to Western contemporary art, taking note of UK’s YBAs and Germany’s Leipzig school since 1998, and has been focusing on young artists in China, India, and Southeast Asian after 2000. Now, the collection consists of over 3,700 pieces of contemporary art works from both the East and West. The MUSEUM’s inaugural exhibition, , presents over 200 pieces by 43 artists out of the collection built over the past 30 years. The exhibition will offer an open scope, unlimited to any specific period, country, or media, and introduce works from a wide array of regions including Korea, and Western countries such as the US, UK, and Germany, as well as India, China, and Southeast Asia.

Interesting modern art museum in an interesting building. The installations make excellent use of the space - for example bathroom themes in old bathrooms- and fit well. Watch your head - some of the ceilings are low. Eat at the coffee shop next door and get a discount on admission.
