  • Quite frankly, the concert hall in this arts center may be, acoustically one of the two best I’ve experienced in my lifetime. I found myself thinking of the hall as a musical instrument in its own right. We were sitting in the upper balcony, or loge, and we’re treated to a glorious experience, listening to performances of all three Rachmaninov piano concertos, all in one evening. Truly an extraordinary experience.
  • I went there to watch Yuja Wang piano recital.. it's memorable experience.. The Arts center is so beautiful with all the facilities..
  • I watched an exhibit named "The mummy", and it was a very unpleasant experience I've ever had in an exhibit. There were a lot of people in the que, so it took a lot of times to watch the whole exhibition. I went there with my mom who's 66 y.o., and she might have been a bit slower than the others. But I don't think she tried to touch the ruins or cut the line. She was in line and didn't do anything out of ordinary, but the staff shoved me and my mom, so we felt really offended. Why would she do that? I think she wanted us to move quickly but the line wasn't moving at all so we couldn't do anything. Shoving us couldn't have made any difference but made us feel upset. I've been a lot of museums and exhibits all around the world, but none of them shoved the visitors like the staff in this exhibit did. I don't ever want to visit this place again, and will never recommend this place and the exhibit "E&A partners" takes charge of.
  • Only share few photo example here. It was lucy to have a chance to see the Egypt culture in Seoul. This is great culture and art, worth paying money to have a look.
  • Gorgeous venue with marble floors and crystal chandeliers, plenty of parking, easy to get to via public transportation, and the concert hall is spectacular! There are also wonderful restaurants onsite, one with a lovely 'dancing water' feature in the courtyard that lights up and moves to the synchronized music. Very impressive!
