Located in Dobong, a district known for its natural beauty and cultural charm, the museum promises to be a fantastic addition to Seoul’s already rich cultural landscape. Think of it – after a hike in the nearby Bukhansan National Park, you can pop into the museum and feast your eyes on a different kind of visual feast!
Imagine strolling through galleries filled with iconic images from Korean photographers, discovering the evolution of camera technology, and maybe even getting inspired to dust off your own trusty camera. This isn’t just going to be a stuffy old museum; it’s shaping up to be a dynamic space where you can truly appreciate the power and beauty of still images.
