[2025 Seoul Attraction] Travel Guide for Amorepacific Museum of Art (Updated Jul)

#KoreaTrip #777 Amorepacific headquarters building, directly connected to Shinyongsan Station in Seoul The Amorepacific Museum of Art is in the basement, and you can buy cosmetics on the second floor The museum is so large that you can get tired from walking. If you want to take a break, why not try the innisfree cafe on the second floor? Innisfree is a famous cosmetics brand, but it is also concerned with the environment as well as the skin, and its concept is to strive to maintain sustainable beauty for both people and the environment. The nature of Jeju Island is the brand image, and the cafe display also gives a sense of rich nature 🌲 It was the end of June, and BTS' 10th anniversary FESTA was being held, with Amorepacific participating, and it was decorated in purple. The building was designed by David Chipperfield. I had a delicious cafe latte in a nice atmosphere ☕️ The view is not of natural scenery, but it is calming, beautiful, and soothing The price is also reasonable~ Directly connected to Exit 1 and Exit 2 of "Sinyoungsan" Station on Subway Line 4 100 Hangang-daero, Yongsan-gu, Seoul 100, Hangang-daero, Yongsan-gu, Seoul #Korean Cafe Tour

#I recommend Kucholo Seoul, which is great as an indoor date place and also as a company dinner place🥰 📍 Kucholo Seoul, 2F, Amore Pacific, 100 Hangang-daero, Yongsan-gu, Seoul ⏰ Everyday 11:30-22:00 / 15:00-17:30 break time / 20:30 last order 🚇 84m from Exit 2 of Sinyongsan Station on Line 4 ✔️ The Amore Pacific Museum of Art is located in the same building, so it would be good to visit it and then stop by for the next course☺️ #HotPlace #WineBar #SeoulTravel #RestaurantIntroduction

Amorepacific's in-house cafe located on the 2nd floor of the Amorepacific Group headquarters. There are many cafes, but Amorepacific Archive is attractive because it has seats outside the store, so you can look down on the large indoor space at a glance. Silent white noise plays, so you can work quietly, have business meetings, or just relax, making it a place you want to visit again next time. #Cafe with a good view #Indoor cafe #Hot place #Cafe recommendation

Andreas Gursky Andreas Gursky Master of modern photography, first solo exhibition in Korea 📍Amorepacific Museum of Art 100 Hangang-daero, Yongsan-gu, Seoul 🗓 March 31 - August 14 An exhibition filled with large photographs💖 It was a work that I looked at for a long time because it felt different when viewed up close. #Exhibition #Exhibition #ExhibitionRecommendation #Photography #PhotoExhibition #AndreasGursky #Seoul #SeoulHotPlace #PlaceToVisitInSeoul #AmorepacificMuseum

#Exhibition This is an exhibition of paintings containing light by artist Marycos. It is an art gallery located on the first floor of the Amore Pacific headquarters building. I was able to see works that beautifully utilized light, and the space was spacious, so it was okay even if there were a lot of people.

Gocheongdam Yongsan Branch ⏰ Business Hours: 11:00 AM - 10:00 PM 📍 Location: B1F, Amorepacific Headquarters, 100 Hangang-daero, Yongsan-gu, Seoul 🚗 Parking: Free parking for 2 hours at Amorepacific We visited Gocheongdam Yongsan Branch, a popular restaurant in Sinyongsan, to celebrate a special occasion. It's conveniently connected to Exit 2 of Sinyongsan Station, leading directly to the basement floor of Amorepacific. The premium Korean beef omakase menu is excellent, making it a highly satisfying dining spot.

From the moment you step into the exhibition space, it feels unique—like entering a 'strange place' rather than a typical museum. The bright lighting, the cold walls, everything seems slightly out of sync with reality, and that dissonance is part of the charm of this exhibition. The first thing you encounter is an empty diving board above a non-existent swimming pool. There’s no one there, yet it feels as if someone had just been present. The lingering emotional traces stay with you. The artwork conveys 'emptiness' while subtly stirring emotions—loneliness, isolation, and a sense of familiarity all at once. It’s not just a sculpture; it’s a 'scene' that tells a story. Another striking installation was the hospital corridor. On one side, abandoned beds and chairs; on the other, a clean but unsettling atmosphere under fluorescent lights. It evokes the familiar yet unspoken emotions tied to hospitals, visually condensed into the space. The work is too intricate to simply pass by, yet staying too long feels emotionally heavy. Some pieces were surprisingly humorous, like a sculpture of a man in a suit with his head against the wall, or figures leaning against trees, staring at corners. These scenes are familiar yet strange, pitiful yet amusing, ultimately prompting self-reflection. The entire exhibition felt like one cohesive narrative. While each piece was powerful on its own, following the overall flow gave the impression of entering and exiting a distinct world. True to its title, 'We Have Embraced Each Other,' the works explored themes of emptiness, relationships, isolation, and understanding. In the final space, the phrase 'We Have Embraced Each Other' resonated deeply—not physically, but emotionally. The Amorepacific Museum of Art utilized its space exceptionally well. The placement of the artworks balanced minimalism with engaging visuals, and the viewing paths were naturally connected without confusion. Photography was allowed, making it easy to document the experience, though I’d recommend focusing on observing the works deeply rather than taking pictures. In summary, this exhibition was a visual exploration of 'modern emotions.' It went beyond showcasing impressive installations, offering a gentle yet profound experience of confronting inner emptiness and anxiety. It’s suitable for solo visits, or with close friends or partners, but I’d especially recommend going alone for quiet emotional reflection. You leave feeling oddly comforted, and perhaps with an urge to embrace someone.

Located in the heart of Yongsan, Seoul, the Amorepacific Museum is a beloved space known for its sophisticated exhibitions and serene atmosphere. Its sleek exterior and refined interior blend harmoniously with the exhibitions. ⸻ 🖼️ Exhibitions Where Contemporary Art Meets Design The Amorepacific Museum frequently showcases not only domestic and international contemporary art but also unique content centered around design and objects. The exhibitions are trendy yet profound, leaving a lasting impression as they seamlessly integrate with the museum's interior structure. ⸻ ☕ A Cultural Space to Fill Your Emotions The museum is not just a place to view artworks; it feels like a cultural platform for reflection and emotional recharge. It's a recommended spot for those who want to encounter art in their daily lives, even on ordinary days.

📍Address: 100 Hangang-daero, Yongsan District, Seoul The Amorepacific Museum of Art is a striking example of modern concrete architecture, seamlessly blending minimalist elegance with a sense of grandeur. More than just a museum, it has evolved into a vibrant communal center, hosting a variety of restaurants, shops, and cafes that invite both visitors and locals to gather and linger. During my visit, I explored the exhibition Beyond Joseon Minhwa, a captivating display of Korean art from the late 18th and 19th centuries. What makes this exhibition particularly fascinating is its focus on minhwa — the art of the common people. These pieces depict everyday life and folk beliefs, offering a glimpse into the hopes and dreams of those often overlooked by more elite artistic traditions. The museum’s collection of pyeongpung (folding screens) was especially impressive, showcasing a remarkable range of themes and artistic styles. One can easily imagine these vivid illustrations serving a role similar to television in our modern age: storytelling tools that entertained, educated, and reflected the aspirations of their time. The Amorepacific Museum of Art is more than a destination for art lovers — it’s a cultural haven where an entire afternoon can be spent immersed in history, architecture, and community. #koreatrip #couplestrip #thingstodo #museums #afternoonteatime

One of the things I wanted to do in Seoul was to go to an art museum. This time, I wanted to go just for the building itself, APMA, located at the headquarters of Amorepacific. You can buy tickets without making a reservation. A few days after I went, a BTS member posted a story about the same place, and I was like, "Really?!" I'd love to encounter the museum someday. Another thing that made me think that this is an Amorepacific museum was the Primera diffuser in the bathroom! The Amorepacific headquarters building, which houses the museum, is very large and worth seeing, and there are various shops in the basement, so you can enjoy it even without going to the museum! ————————————— 📍Amorepacific Museum of Art 100 Hangang-daero, Yongsan District, Seoul ⏰10:00-18:00 (closed on Mondays) Ⓜ️Directly connected to Sinyongsan Station ———————————— #Let's go to Asia #Seoul #Seoul trip #Korea trip #Korea tourism

#IndoorDate 📍Location: Amorepacific Headquarters B1F, 100 Hangang-daero, Yongsan-gu, Seoul You can use the Umakase set, Korean beef, Shabu-shabu, etc. for the Gocheongdam dinner. It costs 138,000 won for 180g and 158,000 won for 250g. Based on what I've tried, I think 180g for women and 250g for men would be enough. There's also a lunch set, and there are also bulgogi, grilled meat, and a Korean table setting menu. They're all neatly presented so they're great for gatherings.

#SeoulTravel Hanwoo Umakase restaurant Gocheongdam Yongsan branch✨️✨️There were many kinds of wine, and there were plenty of wines at reasonable prices, which was nice! (1 bottle of corkage free) Currently, Gocheongdam Yongsan branch has an event where if you order an Umakase set, you get 1 bottle of red wine per table! The clean green onion, the rich tangpyeongchae, and especially the kimchi suited my taste, so I often reached for it! As expected from a Sinyongsan restaurant, the side dishes are clean.

#Lunar New Year Travel I visited the tonkatsu restaurant ‘Ojeje’ located in the basement of the Amore Pacific headquarters building in Yongsan. The clean and modern interior was really nice. I ordered Set A, and it came with sirloin and tenderloin tonkatsu, and zaru udon. The tonkatsu was juicy and crispy, and the zaru udon with green tea noodles was chewy and good. In particular, the shrimp tempura wrapped in kadaif noodles was unique and delicious. The staff kindly explained how to eat it. It’s a little expensive, but I think it’s worth it because the quality is high. It’s crowded on weekends, so it’s better to go early. If you come to Yongsan, be sure to stop by~!

There was a small shop under a pedestrian overpass run by four old ladies. There were no tourists, only locals, so we went in. The place was small but clean, and the turnover rate was surprisingly high. The old ladies were very efficient and diligent. Later, I saw a poster in the shop that said KBS had filmed there. The soybean paste soup was very good. The Amorepacific Museum of Art (APMA) held the first solo exhibition in Asia by American artist Barbara Kruger, titled "Forever". Many people are unfamiliar with Barbara Kruger, but the classic Supreme font was actually created by her to criticize American consumerism. Barbara Kruger, who started out as an advertising copywriter, doesn't take photos at all. She just takes other people's photos and adds eye-catching headlines. As soon as I walked in, I couldn't help but sigh that the LG Group is really rich, but my friend said that Samsung's art museum looks better. Marinated crab. I chose Udarri between the Michelin one-star restaurant Dawafang and Udarri. It was not bad. I learned from the "Lonely Gourmet" and ordered oolong tea. Carbohydrates make people happy, but they also make people feel guilty. I decided to climb Namsan Mountain to digest everything.

#TravelWithMe Amorepacific Museum of Art 100 Hangang-daero, Yongsan District, Seoul, Korea Location: Amorepacific World Headquarters Do you know Amorepacific? Amorepacific is the leading Korean cosmetics company! It is the parent company of Korean cosmetics that you all know, such as Innisfree, Etude House, and Hera. There is a museum at the headquarters of Amorepacific! Because it is a museum, you have to be quiet inside the building! There were so many beautiful paintings that I felt very relaxed! Museums are very interesting because they can be interpreted in many different ways depending on the viewer!

This is an exhibition where you can check out the makeup trends of different eras. Each photo seems to have been recreated with generative AI, making you wonder if such celebrities really existed, and it feels like a perfect reality! The pictures were trendy and very pretty!
