Bumin-gwan is a performance venue with multiple floors in central Seoul, featuring a main theater, exhibition spaces, and several smaller performance halls. The building is designed to accommodate different types of shows and presentations throughout its various rooms.
The building was completed in 1935 as a municipal facility and has served the city for nearly a century. It was designated as a registered cultural property in 2002 to preserve its historical significance.
The venue serves as a regular stage for theater, music, and dance productions that draw local audiences and visitors throughout the year. You can experience Seoul's performing arts scene directly when you attend any of the scheduled shows.
