South Korea: Seoul Museum of Art



One of the many free-entrance museums that you can find in Seoul.



During our visit (cheznuts on October and ruffeecola on November), the exhibition areas are as follows:
Korean Architecture:  Self Evolving City













Art of Dissonance

Seoul Museum of Art (SeMA) presented "Time Gap and Paralax" as the 2017 Special Exhibition of donated works by artist Hong Sungdo, who shared 30 pieces of his "Tourist" series in 2016.
The "Tourist" series since 2005, in which Hong crumpled the photos he took during his journey in Italy, Cuba, Japan and so forth, cut into pieces before attaching on other photos, or piled up multiple photos to create a sculpture. 


This section shows  mostly about street photography, wall graffiti, road signs and arts across Europe.





Fascinating that these are made of eggs.


Commendable service of the museum, knowing that it is a free area and the government are able to sustain this type of museum.




K-Drama Filming Location
Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo (Dec 2016, MBC) Ep 6
While Jung Jae-yi (Lee Jae-yoon) was driving, he gave some mints to Kim Bok-joo (Lee Sung-kyung). She touched his hands, and she got hiccups. He pulled over to look for convenience store, but instead he got a tea from vending machine.
