About this place

Operated by the Samsung Foundation of Culture, Leeum Museum of Art is defined by three architecturally distinct buildings designed by Mario Botta, Jean Nouvel, and Rem Koolhaas. Museum 1 is devoted to traditional Korean art including celadon and white porcelain and Buddhist paintings, while Museum 2 presents modern and contemporary Korean and international works. Louise Bourgeois's monumental spider sculpture Maman stands at the entrance of the museum in the hillside Hannam-dong neighborhood.
