I really really enjoyed his art work and got great inspiration from his exhibition. I'd definitely go again, if you love art as much as I do then it's definitely worth it.

And it's so delightfully...

Absolutely top-notch setting and curation for a private museum dedicated to a single artist. The spatial design of the galleries delightfully evoke the aesthetic essence of the artists’ major works.

A small museum dedicated to the Korean artist who spent most of his working career in Paris during the 50s, 60s and 70s. Easy to access by bus; however, for those with mobility issues (the museum is inaccessible with no lifts and steep hills to climb).
