Overview
This is a cutting-edge museum of contemporary art and design, brought into existence by an avid art collector. The space is innovatively designed around the concept of a "home" to encapsulate the ways in which art and design can enliven our daily experiences. The museum is thoughtfully organized into ten intimate spaces, including a living room, study, and lounge, each brimming with an eclectic mix of modern art forms - be it painting, sculpture, photography, installation, or video works. An impressive collection of over 400 design pieces, such as furniture, lighting, and mirrors, are seamlessly integrated throughout the venue, amplifying the home-like ambiance.
The museum's collection is truly global and genre-defying, boasting works from renowned artists including David Hockney, Damien Hirst, Ugo Rondinone, Do-ho Suh, and Choi Jeong-hwa. Furthermore, the architectural brilliance of the museum is to be credited to Minsuk Cho, a celebrated architect and recipient of the coveted Golden Lion award at the 2014 Venice Biennale.
This venue seamlessly fuses the realms of art, design, and everyday living, offering visitors a unique perspective and experience.
