Amorepacific Museum of Art (APMA)

ArtHistoryClosed · Opens 10amFrom £18000Sinyongsan Station (Line 4)

Amorepacific Museum of Art (APMA) nació de la colección personal de Suh Sung-whan, fundador de Amorepacific, quien reunió cerámicas, piezas artesanales y textiles vinculados a las mujeres, la cosmética y la cultura coreana del té. Inaugurado en 1979 como Pacific Museum y rebautizado en 2009, en 2018 se trasladó a una galería subterránea bajo la sede de Amorepacific en Yongsan, un cubo blanco minimalista diseñado por David Chipperfield, galardonado con el Premio Pritzker. Hoy, el museo presenta un programa cambiante que abarca desde antigüedades coreanas hasta arte contemporáneo internacional, junto con charlas, publicaciones y residencias para jóvenes artistas e investigadores.
