Whanki Museum, Art museum in Buam-dong, South Korea.
The Whanki Museum exhibits over 6,000 works by Korean abstract artist Whanki Kim across multiple dedicated gallery spaces and outdoor gardens.
The museum opened in November 1992 following construction that began in 1990, designed by architect Kyu-seung Woo to showcase Korean abstract art.
The museum displays Whanki Kim's distinctive pointillism style that merges Korean landscapes with abstract forms influenced by Eastern and Western traditions.
Located at 210-8 Buam-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, the museum operates Tuesday through Sunday from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM with admission fees of 10,000 won.
