Leeum Museum of Art

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.
