[Asia Economy Reporter Donghyun Choi] Samsung Museum of Art Leeum and Hoam Art Museum, under the Samsung Cultural Foundation, will resume operations from October 8.
A representative of Leeum Museum of Art announced on the 27th that Leeum Museum, which had been closed for about 1 year and 7 months since February 25 last year, will reopen on October 8. Hoam Art Museum will also open on the same day.
Leeum will hold an exhibition to commemorate the space renewal and new beginning. The 'Permanent Exhibition,' which showcases Korean traditional art and domestic and international contemporary art, has been completely revamped with a new theme, presenting many works that have never been exhibited before. The reopening commemorative special exhibition, 'Human, Seven Questions,' is a humanities exhibition reflecting on humans as the origin of art and reconsidering the meaning of human existence during times of crisis and disaster.
Additionally, Leeum renewed its identity (MI), lobby space configuration, and design, and upgraded digital services such as the 'Media Wall,' 'Digital Guide,' and 'Leeum DID,' which have been continuously introduced since Leeum's opening.
Hoam Art Museum also prepared a reopening commemorative special exhibition titled 'Yageum 冶金: Great Wisdom.' This fusion exhibition plans to explore the history of Korean art from tradition to modern times through metal crafts.
