one of the few places in Korea or maybe the only place where young street artists are authorized by the local government to draw graffiti.

Great place with alot of street art and old cultural heritage. Place has some really good structures and builds. Amazing and scenic views, if lucky you can experience sunset right in the heart of Seoul. Namsan tower looks amazing with its lighting, when its dark. Buses or subways are always available. Good places to enjoy coffee and to spend quality time with friends or alone.

Visited this in Seoul in late 2017. It is a fun place to visit and take some nice photos. Decent street art with a distinctly Korean feel. The surrounding area makes for a very nice, relaxing stroll as well. Definitely recommend a quick hour or two in the area if you have the time.

I love this museum! The exhibitions are mostly free and change frequently. The surrounding neighborhood provides a calming stroll and a museum visit can be complemented nicely with a visit to Deoksu Palace across the avenue. Currently, we’re stuck with coronavirus, so here are some photos of the street.

Spacious five story contemporary art museum with regular seasonal exhibitions. One of the most expensive admission tickets I’ve seen for a museum in Seoul unfortunately. Make sure to check the exhibition online first before you make the decision to go.

I definitely recommend visiting this park at night time, because the view of Seoul lit up at night with spectacular! There are many spots to park along the street on the way up the hill, but there is also a parking lot that is directly underneath the park, I believe it was about 5,000. There are several overlooks, I think the best course of action is to start with the lowest and work your way up around the wall until you reach the Peak. At the peak that's where you're going to find a nice view of Seoul Tower as well! While you're up there, there are some really cute cafes and murals in the area, plus many restaurants if you walk down the hill.

A gallery is all about the artists and the exhibitions it holds. This one never fails..I fell in love with the talented 35- year-old whose exhibition is on display right now. Kim Sung Yoon has been active for 10 years already , which is no surprise given his raw talent and keen eye. His "arrangement" exhibition is brilliant. He has taken the most sought-after, yet elusive, object the flower and recreated works of masters like Monnet successfully blending seasons, material, light, function, values. He has brought life to the traditional still life genre. Genius.. his depth and confident brushstrokes are a sight to behold.
I try to keep this list very up to date. It was last edited in September 2024. You can help me make this page better, for example by letting me know of a street art that should be on the list. Click here to get in touch. Thanks!
