SEHWA MUSEUM OF ART

Open Museum in the Heart of the City

Ilju & Sunhwa Gallery has been revitalized into Sehwa Museum of Art. Sehwa Museum aims to be an open museum where life and art communicate, serving as a dynamic cultural hub in the city. The Gwanghwamun area, where high-rise buildings, palaces, and Cheonggyecheon stream coexist, is a place where various cultural values intersect between tradition and the future. Here, Sehwa Museum of Art seeks to introduce art that can be enjoyed comfortably and closely in everyday life, rather than art that feels unfamiliar and distant.

With installations like Jonathan Borofsky’s Hammering Man, a landmark in Gwanghwamun, and Kang Ik-joong’s Beautiful Landscape, the Sehwa Art and Culture Foundation has worked to display a variety of collections in public spaces, making it easier for the public to appreciate art. Through Sehwa Museum, we aim to present the diverse currents of contemporary art from a fresh perspective.

We will strive to promote contemporary cultural and artistic appreciation both domestically and internationally through exchange exhibitions with local and foreign artists, support for emerging artists, and various themed exhibitions. We look forward to meeting all of you who love culture and art at Sehwa Museum of Art, a place where art can be shared in the heart of the city.
