great food, art, and guide :)) - Even as an art student I didn’t know much about the Korean modern art movement, so this was a very fun and informative experience for me. The museum is about 3 exhibits which i think is the perfect size, not too overwhelming for people just getting into art and still enough to hold frequent museum goers attention. Sungjin was a great guide and really customized the experience to our needs/wants. He was very easy to talk to and even gave us more general guidance while walking around korea which was very nice as first time visitors. He even provided extra food and experience recommendations in the area we were staying which enhanced the remainder of my trip. I really think this is a great tour to attend :)))

Amazing Art Experience - This art/food tour was exceptional! I felt as if I had my own personal curator and historian guiding me through the gallery expertly explaining the pieces in this beautiful collection. Sungjin is an excellent guide and I was lucky enough to be in a tour group of one, so the personalized attention was a tremendous bonus for me. Sungjin is so knowledgeable, gifted and passionate about art and it really shows in this tour. He really brought out the inner art critic in me and I would often ask myself "How does this piece make me feel ? " After the gallery we went to a extremely delicious Michelin star restaurant, where we enjoyed a traditional Korean meal. It was so tasty and the perfect end to a wonderful day. I highly recommend this experience to all that come to Seoul, you will not be disappointed!
