The Seoul National University Museum of Art (SNUMoA) is a museum in Seoul National University.
The SNUMoA holds regular exhibitions of students’ work as well as work from international and domestic designers and artists.
The SNUMoA was designed by Rem Koolhaas. The structure's exterior is made of U-glass which reveals the underlying structural steel framed trusses. The building is located on sloping site which the architect utilized in the final design. The museum is cantilevered on a concrete core, thus giving the appearance of lightness and floating in space. The museum is divided into four basic program areas: Operations, Educational, Exhibition, and Library. The slope of the building benefits the auditorium which has ramped seating.
Once you arrive, the MoA is located to the left of the main gate of the Seoul National University Gwanak Campus. Take the subway or a bus to the main gate and walk up the staircase of the amphi-plaza which is to the left of the gate.
