Lonely Planet review

This large and impressive art gallery is spread over three floors and also has sculptures in the garden. The outstanding exhibit is 'The More the Better' - a 1988 installation of 1000 flickering TV screens piled up into a pagoda shape by leading Korean artist, Paik Nam-june. The gallery of figurative art includes Kim Tschang-yeol's famous drops of water while the circular international gallery has a sequinned Buddha. Make of that what you will.

Other styles include abstract, minimalist and op art, but the landscape art section is the most impressive. The café has a pleasant balcony area. See for the next-door zoo and amusement park.
