Nam-Seoul Museum of Art

A meaningful place and opportunity to be immersed in the remnants of history.

The Nam-Seoul Museum of Art offers visitors meaningful opportunities to linger alongside traces of history. The building itself previously served as the Belgian Consulate during the Korean Empire (1897?1910), and it has since been designated as a historic site (no. 254). First constructed in Hoehyeon-dong in 1905, it was later relocated to its current location in Namhyeon-dong in 1983. The Nam-Seoul Museum of Art has maintained a permanent exhibition of the works of pioneering modern Korean sculpture artist Kwon Jin Kyu from 2023, and it regularly holds special exhibitions highlighting the ways in which beautiful architecture and contemporary sculpture can relate to one another.
