🇰🇷 Seoul | Leeum Samsung Museum of Art 🎨

#summervacay “Invisible Clues & Silent Structures” Nestled quietly in the heart of Seoul, Leeum Samsung Museum of Art feels like a secret artery running beneath the city’s vibrant surface — calm, intentional, and deeply immersive 🕊️ 🏛️ The Museum is divided into three main sections: M1 (Traditional Art): Designed by Mario Botta, this red brick tower is a masterpiece on its own. Sunlight spills in through the skylight, casting shadows along the spiral staircase. The texture of the brick speaks in silence — almost like time has slowed down ⏳ Here you’ll find restrained displays of Goryeo celadon, Joseon white porcelain, and Buddhist paintings, all elegantly spaced with just the right amount of emptiness. M2 (Modern & Contemporary Art): A sleek contrast to M1, M2 (by Jean Nouvel) houses edgier, more experimental works. It brings a contemporary pulse — and the occasional surprise 💡 Black Box (Special Exhibitions): Designed by Rem Koolhaas, this section shifts constantly. Every visit might feel different — its unpredictability becomes part of the art experience itself 🎭 ✨ Why it stands out: Rather than a typical museum, Leeum feels like a living architectural dialogue. Even the corridors and staircases seem curated. Each space invites you to slow down, look closely, and reflect deeply. Whether you're an art lover or a design enthusiast, this is a place to breathe in the quiet elegance of Korean and global artistry — from the ancient to the avant-garde. 🗺️ Location: Itaewon, Seoul 📅 Current exhibitions change frequently — check their website before visiting! #leeumsamsungmuseum #seoulartmuseum #hiddenseoul #mariobotta
