A Visit to the Seoul Museum of Art and Deoksugung Stone Wall Path
Seoul Museum of Art
It's been a while since I've been to City Hall Station. This wasn't my main destination, but after visiting the newly opened photography museum, I stopped by the Seoul Museum of Art after a long time.
Since it's on the same subway line 1, you can group it together as an art museum tour. (The Seoul Museum of Art Buk-Seoul Branch is even closer.)
After a quick stop at Daiso near Exit 1 of City Hall Station,
I bought a Liege waffle, famous at the Deoksugung Stone Wall Path.
Got the Belgium Chocolate flavor!
Personally, I prefer my waffles a bit warmer, but the chocolate flavor was still delicious. :)
It's so big, I really wish they would make a half-size version and lower the price a bit. hahaha
I came without knowing what exhibition was going on.
Before, each hall had a completely different concept and atmosphere (I remember the works of Chun Kyung-ja).
But this time, it was an exhibition that continued all the way up to the 3rd floor.
Seoul Mediacity Biennale 《Spell: The Technology of the Soul》, Exhibition period 2025.08.26~2025.11.23
The space felt even more mysterious since I went in without knowing anything.
First of all, the colors are so boldly good.
It's hard to find spaces like this in everyday life,
That's why I like exhibitions.
Knowing the keywords – occult, mysterious, spiritual exhibition – would make it easier to understand.
There were even tarot card paintings on display (I think it's quite positive to view it with a light heart, like self-suggestion, since it gives me the power to believe in myself these days).
The exhibition continues to the 2nd floor.
It can be a bit difficult to understand, but there were unexpectedly subtle points that resonated.
There were many video art installations in the middle of the exhibition halls.
I took note of a space with a slightly dark and profound atmosphere, but a different vibe.
I remember it being on the 3rd floor.
There was a souvenir shop in the middle of the 3rd floor, so I took a quick look around.
After viewing the exhibition, there was a space next to the elevator.
I've never seen a bag rental service before, so that was interesting.
Back down on the 1st floor, there's a cafe called SeMA Cafe in one area.
I've been to Deoksugung Stone Wall Path a few times,
But it's been a while since I've been at night.
The car-free street hours were over by then, but it was still nice to walk.
A busking performance was being set up (romantic).
