Artistic travel in the city center

Gangneung Museum of Art

• The Gangneung Museum of Art overlooks downtown Gangneung,
  so one can enjoy both the view of the city and the artworks featured in the museum.
  The fact that the museum is located at the heart of the city means that one can simply drop by
  and get one’s rest without additional time and effort.
  The two-story building can be found on a slightly inclined road.



• The first thing that greets the visitors in the museum is the view of the city.
  The forest of buildings stands below one’s feet, as if one has climbed a mountain.
  This view alone makes it a great place for a trip.



• The Gangneung Museum of Art may appear to be small,
  but its four exhibition rooms offer exhibitions put together with love and care.
  Through various exhibitions that can be understood and appreciated not only by art professionals
  but also by the general public, the museum makes artworks more familiar and accessible to the people of Gangneung.

• The Gangneung Museum of Art also offers experience programs in conjunction with its special exhibitions.

A leisurely walk through art

Daechumoo Fine Art

• Located just a short jaunt away from the city center is Daechumoo Fine Art,
  an art museum located in a pastoral landscape with historic houses.
  Indeed, it is located in between the old houses known as “Daechumu’s House” and “Imgyeongdang House,”
  so one can get a good sense of traditional architecture and beauty in addition to contemporary art.
  Daechumoo Fine Art is a contemporary art museum that offers free entrance to the members of the local community.





• Sunlight and the scenery of nature from the windows create an ambience
  I which the artworks in the gallery can truly shine.
  As light changes throughout the day, the lighting interacts with the exhibition to create different impressions.
  Daechumoo Fine Art is a contemporary art museum open to all,
  offering opportunities to showcase their works for artists and an open space to enjoy art for visitors.



• The scenery from the second-floor gallery is in itself worthy of being a work of art exhibited in the gallery,
  taking on different emotions and hues across the four seasons.
  All these features create a space where one can simply go in and freely interact with art.
• 

  Don’t miss the handsome “Imgyeongdang House,”
  a historic house surrounded by pine trees
  right next to Daechumoo Fine Art.
  A walk between the two buildings
  is like a journey through time.
