Gallery GT
Incheon(Jung-gu) , Incheon Center

The Curator’s Secret Garage: Discovering the Miniature Worlds of "Gallery GT" (Where a Renowned Artist’s Passion for Rare Cars Comes to Life) Incheon, South Korea — Within the colossal industrial grandeur of the Incheon Sangsang Platform, there exists a hidden universe that operates on a much smaller, yet infinitely more detailed scale. Welcome to Gallery GT, a sanctuary for the collector, the dreamer, and the artist. While the venue impresses with its size, the true magic lies in its details. This is not merely a shop; it is the physical manifestation of a 20-year obsession with automotive beauty, curated by a true master of the arts. The Story: From Sculptor to Collector The soul of Gallery GT is its founder, a renowned fine artist celebrated in the Korean art world for his powerful and dynamic sculptures of Oxen (So). For over two decades, while chiseling life into stone and metal, he nurtured a parallel passion: collecting rare automobiles. What began as a personal hobby has blossomed into this extraordinary gallery, inviting travelers to step inside his private world of mechanical wonder. A Treasury of Rarity: Die-Cast Models & Vintage Classics For enthusiasts in the know, Gallery GT is already a pilgrimage site. It is famous among Korean "maniacs" (dedicated enthusiasts) for its uncompromising collection. • The Die-Cast Collection: The shelves here are lined with treasures that are difficult to find elsewhere. From precision-engineered die-cast models to rare figures, the shop specializes in scarce items that tell the history of the automobile. • Old & Vintage: The curator’s eye favors the classics. You will find a stunning array of vintage mini-cars and "Old Car" models that evoke a sense of nostalgia and timeless elegance. It is a place where you can hold a piece of automotive history in the palm of your hand. Where Sculpture Meets Mechanics What makes Gallery GT truly unique is the juxtaposition of art forms. Amidst the sleek lines of the model cars, you will find the artist’s original Ox sculptures on display and available for purchase. The contrast is striking: the rugged, organic energy of the Ox sculptures sitting alongside the precise, industrial perfection of the model cars. This combination transforms the space from a simple retail shop into a complex cultural gallery, offering a visual feast that appeals to both art lovers and car aficionados. Why It Is a "Must-Visit" You do not need to be a die-hard collector to appreciate Gallery GT. 1. The Hunt for Treasure: Whether you are looking for a unique souvenir or a rare addition to your own collection, this is the best place in Incheon to find something special. 2. A Visual Museum: Even if you are just browsing, the sheer variety and detail of the items on display make it feel like visiting a miniature car museum. 3. The Artist’s Touch: It is a rare opportunity to meet the vision of a creator who bridges the gap between fine art and pop culture collectibles. [Traveler’s Note] Gallery GT offers a unique shopping experience where you can acquire both a masterpiece of Korean sculpture and a rare vintage model car in one visit. It is a space fueled by passion—and that passion is contagious.

Baengma High Ground Battlefield
Gangwon-do(Cheorwon-gun)

Located in the northern area of South Korea, Baengma Battlefield was one of the bloodiest battlefields during the Korean War. The communist Chinese army launched a major offensive attack for 10 days on October 6, 1952 during the Battle of Baengmagoji (Baengma; White horse). Due to this battle, the communist Chinese army suffered around 14,000 casualties and the army completely collapsed while the 9th Infantry Division won the battle of the Baengma High Ground and got the name “White Horse.” After the battle the area gave off a bad smell because of the dead bodies. The mountain area lost its original shape due to the severe battle and as a result the area was named “Baengmagoji” as it was said to resemble a white horse (Baengma) lying down.
