The modern art in the Leeum Museum of Art covers international art trends from Korean modern and contemporary art to Asian and Western modern art, and is the result of the Samsung Cultural Foundation's long-standing belief and passion for the development of Korean culture and art. In 2025, to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Samsung Cultural Foundation, the Leeum, Samsung Museum of Art, provides a place for people to appreciate its collection of modern art from a new perspective.
The focus of this exhibition is not on representative collections of well-known museums, but on works that have never been made public. In addition, new works recently acquired by the museum are introduced to enrich the artistic dialogue that reflects the changing times. The exhibition is not arranged chronologically or thematically, but encourages the audience to discover more relationships between works through visual or conceptual juxtaposition, thus creating a multi-layered, non-linear artistic experience.
The opening works of the exhibition include Auguste Rodin's The Burghers of Calais, Alberto Giacometti's Lady Giant III, and Jan Bo's Our Country (Part), echoing the history and identity of the Leeum collection that connects modern and contemporary art. Starting with the wonderful encounter with paintings by Mark Rothko and Zhang Xuzhen, to the major works of modern masters Sol LeWitt, Richard Deacon, Carl Andre, and Robert Rauschenberg, which were made public for the first time since the opening of the Leeum, as well as the recently acquired works of Louise Nevelson, Hannah Darboven, and Lee Bontesseu, they complement each other and further enrich the depth and breadth of the art collection of the Leeum. In addition, the architecturally transformed M2 exhibition space will provide visitors with a special visual experience, allowing them to explore the space and works in a whole new way.
Through this exhibition, we hope to examine the evolution and changes of modern art through the collections accumulated by Leeum Art Museum over the past decades, reflect on the contemporary context and artistic significance of the works, and feel the complex levels of art through the multi-level dialogue between the works. - Leeum Art Museum

The palace is well-preserved and has so much rich history! It&rsquo;s also walking-distance from Jogyesa Temple and the Insa-dong neighborhood. The views are especially spectacular at sunset.

Yeouido used to be a military airport in Seoul, but now it has become the financial center of South Korea, as well as the center of the political and entertainment circles. It is home to the 63 Building, the National Assembly, major financial institutions, KBS and MBC (both famous Korean TV stations). Many Korean dramas have been filmed here, and the MBC building on Yeouido is a must-see for fans of the Korean Wave. You can watch the recording process of the program here and may even meet your favorite stars. In addition, KBS has a TV exhibition hall and a radio program area, and many stars will interact with fans in this open radio recording room. Every April, when the cherry blossoms in Seoul are in full bloom, Yeouido becomes the best viewing spot for flower viewing in Seoul.
