Love that art is made so readily available for everyone. Definitely recommend visiting! The exhibitions are interesting and feed the soul exile giving a break from the busy city.

The garden in front of the museum is small but very beautiful, with inspiring statues. Alas, there is nothing of interest inside the museum itself...

It has been a great experience to visit this museum. Great exhibition of Ai Weiwei there, which reflects even today's problems of wartime. A second exhibition about memorizing was also thrilling. Large halls, vibrant atmosphere and a lot of visitors attending this high museum in the heart of the town.

The museum was set up very nicely and it was easy to find. There is no admission fee so it's a great place to visit when in Seoul. The current exhibitions just weren't my style, but it was still very interesting and well set up.

Full of contemporary exhibitions around the year. Located at the centre of the city. Better use public transportation. Parking is costly downtown Seoul.

Our entry into the museum was totally an accidental..we were just passing by thinking there'd be fee to pay for the exhibitions but fortunately all the exhibitions were free and we were able to witness some of the best paintings from one of the famous female painter Chub Kyung-Ja!!! Her paintings are one of a style while standing up for women rights and respect!!!
