The central hub for arts in Seoul, Seoul Arts Center provides the city with an expansive collection of contemporary art and design. Lying adjacent to the opera house and calligraphy museum, the museum sprawls across three storeys, featuring six galleries of ever-changing exhibits. Select one of many current shows and make your way around artworks scattered across numerous rooms and large-scale halls. When you need a break, the outdoor Art Square provides a peaceful spot in which to sit and study surrounding sculptures. Two onsite cafeterias offer light refreshment to recharge.

Quite frankly, the concert hall in this arts center may be, acoustically one of the two best I’ve experienced in my lifetime. I found myself thinking of the hall as a musical instrument in its own right. We were sitting in the upper balcony, or loge, and we’re treated to a glorious experience, listening to performances of all three Rachmaninov piano concertos, all in one evening. Truly an extraordinary experience.
