One of Seoul’s cultural highlights, the Leeum museum consists of two parts, one of which houses traditional Korean art, the other contemporary art fusing together Korean antiquities  with important modern and contemporary art. The architecture by Mario Botta, Jean Nouvel and Rem Koolhaas makes it even more worthwhile. 

Built around traditional Korean food inspired by owner, Pak Mogua's mother, Parc is the ideal, chic address for a lunch after visiting the Leeum Museum. On the menu are homestyle Korean comfort meals with a set menu which changes daily according to the season. 

With its headquarters in New York and an outpost in Brussels, Gladstone Gallery’s latest expansion into Seoul’s cultural hub of Hannam-dong marks an exciting new chapter for the gallery. Visit the newly opened space, thoughtfully designed by Seoul-based Mass Studies, and explore an exhibition programme that champions multi-media contemporary art practices. 

Natural wines rule here at wildduck & canteen, so abandon any plans you had for a classic Nebbiolo. This relaxed neighbourhood spot is ideal for delicious American-style small plates and fresh, funky wines.
