Gwangju Art Museum

The Gwangju Art Museum, part of an ugly art plaza with concert and performance halls, displays highlights from the avant-garde Gwangju Biennale. Thought-provoking exhibits could include a portrait of the back of someone's head, a cow made of leather or a landscape inside a suitcase.

Take bus 23 (around ₩900, 10 minutes, every 15 minutes) from outside the bus terminal, and get off at the Gwangju Art Museum stop (Munhwa Yesul Hoegwan), a 15-minute walk from Gwangju National Museum.
