Korean Cultural Center

The Korean Cultural Center is a modern building in the 8th arrondissement that presents rotating art exhibitions, film screenings, musical performances, and craft demonstrations. The building contains multiple exhibition spaces, a multimedia room for lectures, a library with Korean resources, and classrooms for language instruction.

The center was founded in 1980 and marked the beginning of structured cultural exchange between France and South Korea in Paris. Its establishment made it possible to present and share the culture of distant Asia directly in the French capital.

The center presents Korean artists and traditional crafts through rotating exhibitions that give visitors direct insight into both contemporary and historical Korean artistic traditions. The spaces are shared by Korean and Parisian creators to build new artistic connections.

Visit during daytime hours when exhibitions can be viewed without crowds and the library is fully accessible. The classrooms are often open in the evening when language courses are held.

The center regularly hosts fusion events where Korean art forms are combined with French traditions, creating entirely new cultural mixtures. These collaborations show how artistic expressions from different cultures can enrich each other.
