National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Deoksugung

The National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Deoksugung is located in the west wing of Seokjojeon inside Deoksugung. It focuses on modern art, with exhibitions centered on Korean painters working in an Impressionist style. The building was designed by Japanese architect Nakamura Yoshihei and completed in 1938, and it connects to the neighboring Seokjojeon. It is currently covered by a blue construction cover for repairs, so visitors need to check whether it is open before visiting.
