Leeum Museum of Art

리움미술관

Hannam, Seoul · 서울

A private museum in Hannam-dong built as three linked buildings — Mario Botta, Jean Nouvel and Rem Koolhaas each took one — holding Korean antiquities in one and contemporary art in another.

Why it’s worth it

The celadon and buncheong ceramics in Botta’s spiral are among the finest anywhere. The permanent collection is free; book the slot online.
