Art galleries, museums, and sports facilities within the park

#JuneTravelSupport

🔮Located in Songpa-gu, Seoul, Olympic Park is more than just a park; it's a multi-cultural space encompassing art, sports, and history. At its heart, the art museums, museums, and sports facilities, each with their own distinct character and historical significance, are evident just from their exteriors.

🌳The Seoul Olympic Museum of Art (SOMA) boasts an impressive architectural aesthetic that blends modernity with nature. The understated exterior, utilizing glass, steel, and concrete, aligns well with the concept of a "museum within nature in the city." The smooth curves and straight lines create a sense of open space, without boundaries, and visually connect seamlessly with the surrounding sculpture park.

🍁While each sports facility within Olympic Park was designed for a different purpose, they all share the functionalist architectural characteristics of the late 1980s.

🌲The art museums, museums, and sports facilities within Olympic Park all felt like examples of a balanced blend of historical significance, function, and aesthetics. Each façade visually conveys the story of the space, acting as part of a "cultural landscape" rather than simply a facility.
