[2025 Seoul Attraction] Travel Guide for SeMA - Seoul Museum of Art (Updated Apr)

This exhibition is in perfect sync with the one in London. From the presentation of the exhibits, the environmental design, to the scale of the visuals, it makes you feel as if you are in the original London venue. The exhibition features Hockney's classic works through an immersive circular screen, leading the audience into his world with a large-scale visual experience. The exhibition is not just a display of static paintings, but through audio-visual technology, it brings the images to life, allowing the audience to deeply experience the world through the artist's eyes and appreciate the beauty of life. It is worth mentioning that Hockney himself is also wearing his iconic yellow Crocs, a detail that brings a smile to your face, as if the artist's playful spirit permeates the exhibition. 🚕 Transportation Recommendation: Lightroom Seoul

📍61 Deoksugung-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul I went to the Seoul Museum of Art for the first time, and it was quite large. For reference, this exhibition is time-based:) I wanted to listen to the explanation as well, so I rented the audio for 3,000 won. I think it would be better to listen to the explanation rather than just appreciate the artworkㅎㅎ Please note that photography is not allowed on the 2nd and 3rd floors, but only on the 1st floor #ExhibitionRecommendation #ExhibitionReview #EdwardHopper

The Edward Hopper Road exhibition at the Seoul Museum of Art in Jung-gu, Seoul, was an exhibition where you can see and hear the life of artist Edward Hopper. The exhibition is displayed in the order of 2nd floor->3rd floor->1st floor. Photography is only allowed on the 1st floor, and video recording is prohibited. Docent audio is available for rent for a fee, and the voice was recorded by actor Yoo Ji-tae, so I felt that it blended well with the exhibition. I personally was impressed by Edward Hopper's painting, Woman in the Sunlight, and there is a photo zone with this painting in the background, so I recommend you visit. ⏰️10:00-20:00 🚗Paid parking available 🔍61 Deoksugung-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul #SeoulTravel#SeoulMuseumofArt#EdwardHopper

As you walk along Doldam-gil (stone wall path) surrounding Gyeongbokgung Palace, you will see the path to the Seoul Museum of Art. As you walk along, you will be greeted by a number of unique sculptures in the forest and arrive at a dignified entrance that is the remains of the facade of the old Supreme Court building. The facility inside is as clean and friendly as a neighborhood library, making it easy to browse the exhibits. When I visited, they were changing exhibits, so there were only one or two small exhibits on, but I think there is a sense of peace that can only be experienced in this space. I want to go again! I hope you do too. #Seoul #Museum

🗺️ Seoul Jung-gu Deoksugung-gil 61 Seoul Museum of Art 📌Free exhibition, closed on Mondays 2022.12.15 ~ 2023.03.12 Seosomun Main Building 1-2F [Kiki Smith - Free Fall] Seoul Museum of Art discovered on RM's Instagram!

#Exhibition [Seoul Museum of Art, Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb] The free exhibition, which runs until February 27, 2022, is an exhibition on the production experience of dealing with today's materials and technology. This exhibition, which started from the side effects of the accelerated online art in the pandemic era and the concerns about that, was a very difficult exhibition for me. It is said that four artists expressed how to accept the emergence of new technologies and develop them in their own way. The title was a bit unusual, so I looked it up after the exhibition and found that it was a slightly twisted expression of a line from Stanley Kubrick's film, which contained the tragic ending of nuclear weapons. The world of art is difficult, but I think it is enough to stimulate the brain by looking at these fresh works. I recommend this exhibition, which feels even more new because various objects and expression techniques are used. I think you can visit without any burden. #Seoul Museum of Art #Stop Worrying #Love the Bomb

Our trip to Seoul began with a visit to the Hangaram Art Museum. The morning sunlight streamed through the windows, and we got up early to enjoy a hearty Korean breakfast before taking the subway to the museum located in Namsan. Upon arrival, we were immediately captivated by the museum's modern design, which is simple yet elegant, and the surrounding greenery made us feel very comfortable. Entering the museum, we immediately felt the rich artistic atmosphere. The special exhibition of the day featured works by contemporary Korean artists, including paintings, sculptures, and installations. Each piece explored themes of society, culture, and personal identity, prompting us to reflect on the meaning of contemporary art. We lingered in the exhibition halls, sharing our interpretations and feelings about the art with other visitors. At noon, we enjoyed a light meal at the museum's café, savoring a local specialty rice bowl that was delicious. In the afternoon, we participated in a guided tour organized by the museum, where a professional guide introduced us to the stories behind the exhibitions and the artists' creative concepts, giving us a deeper understanding of each piece. As the day's itinerary came to an end, we picked out some art-related souvenirs from the museum shop to commemorate this cultural journey.

🔖The Life That Rises - Kim In-soon Collection 📍Exhibition Venue: Seoul Museum of Art, 2nd Floor, Gana Art Exhibition Hall The Kim In-soon Collection: The Life That Rises exhibition currently ongoing at the Seoul Museum of Art offers a unique opportunity to empathize with and reflect on the lives and realities of past Korean women through art. Although it is a free exhibition in Seoul, the high-quality paintings and the in-depth docent explanations at the Seoul Museum of Art made the visit even more meaningful. The messages conveyed in each artwork were impressive, and the archive research room that looks back on the artist's life was also excellent. Highly recommended for those who want to experience both culture and art, so be sure to visit!

#IndoorDate #SeoulExhibition #SeoulFreeExhibition 🔖Whisper of Nature-Park Kwang-jin Exhibition 📍Exhibition Venue: Seoul Museum of Art, Seosomun Main Building, 1st Floor Exhibition Room Park Kwang-jin is known to have played a pivotal role in the development of Korean figurative painting. Here, the museum exhibits paintings from his early days to his mature years in the 2000s. It is divided into four parts according to the era, and the last part is the Sound of Nature part, which is similar to the exhibition name. You can enjoy the exhibition for free, where you can find your own scenery in everyday life, from the palace where you can feel culture and nature, to the pawn shop, cigarette shop, and Yeomcheon Bridge, known as the handmade shoe street since the Japanese colonial period.

It used to be a courthouse. Now it is a municipal art museum. It is an art museum that has been responsible for the education of Seoul citizens for a very long time. There are many high-quality free exhibitions and many excellent special exhibitions. The permanent exhibition where you can see the art world of artist Cheon Kyung-ja is very good. I recommend it. #2025OverseasTravelEvent
