A private gallery-gallery with temporary exhibitions and a permanent collection of outdoor statues in a beautiful site.

Gwangju has little to offer, but this cultural center offers good exhibitions of contemporary artists, shows and various activities.

Gwangju, designated a Creative City of Media Arts by UNESCO in December 2014, aims to promote local culture, art and the city's economic development through the arts. The GMAP (Gwangju Media Art Platform) is one of the institutions involved in this outreach, where art and technology meet. The definition of "Media Art" is quite broad, ranging from sculpture to digital installation and performance art, but is generally focused on contemporary art. It's a great place to discover the local scene.

This cultural complex, established in a former cable factory closed in 2008 and creatively renovated, will delight lovers of art, cuisine or architecture. With its bamboo grove, bookshop, galleries (including an annex of the famous Kukje gallery), stores, micro-brewery, bars, cafés and restaurants, it's a great place to spend a few hours. The space offers a variety of programs and activities for every age group, so there's something for everyone. It also hosts events related to the Busan Art Biennale.

In the heart of Hanok village, the Art Sonje Center's sleek, contemporary building stands out. This institution dedicated to contemporary art has been one of Seoul's most important since 1998, and stands out for its commitment to artistic innovation and cultural diversity. Founded by renowned entrepreneur and cultural patron Heeja K Chung, the center offers exhibitions, performances and educational activities, supporting both local and international artists. Quality programming.

Unlike tangible cultural heritage, intangible heritage is "living", practiced and transmitted by mankind throughout history. The NIHC is the first institution in Korea charged with safeguarding it. Its roles include transmitting this heritage through research, archiving, exhibitions, performances and educational programs. With its meticulous organization and interactive content, the visit is both enjoyable and instructive.

This street located in the heart of Daegu (Bongsan-dong district, Jung-gu) has no particular aesthetic interest except that it houses several art galleries, a cultural center, but also various workshops where you will be introduced for free to the work of craftsmen. It's sort of a small version of Insadong on Seoul (but less crowded) and there are many cafes there as well. Don't hesitate to go to the Bongsan Cultural Center to discover the local art and culture.
