About

Leeum, Samsung Museum of Art, has collected, preserved, exhibited, and researched important Korean artworks from prehistoric times through the Joseon Dynasty (1395-1910). As a result, the museum has built a collection of fine artworks representative of Korea’s long history across diverse fields, as well as highly valuable scholarly research materials.
Inside MUSEUM 1, Leeum displays over 120 works of traditional Korean art together with select pieces of contemporary art from its own collection under the theme, “Beyond Time” to convey how art communicates with viewers beyond temporal boundaries.
