Hangaram Arts Center Museum — Attraction in Seoul

Great space..I came for the Erik Johansson exhibition "Impossible is Possible" aaaand was presently surprised to come across the first ever Greek exhibition in Korea "The Greeks:Agamemnon to Alexander the Great"..

The Johansson exhibition was uber frustrating as the curator obviously crammed everything in very small spaces and the lighting setup along with the hordes made it impossible to appreciate Johansson 's photographic and artistic talent as the reflections distract the viewer to a frustrating degree..That being said the man is genius; there's no denying that.

Very moving, emotional, historical, loving, and truthful paintings of one of the most famous French artist. The docent for today's exhibit, 정우철, was exceptionally knowledgeable, personable, and very engaging with the viewers. Thank you for this rare chance to view amazing...
