About this audio guide
This guide to Busan Museum of Art follows the free outdoor sculpture park where the city's art mixes with joggers and picnickers, then turns to the story behind its centerpiece artist. Lee Ufan, born in 1936, spent his middle school years in Busan before leaving for Japan, where he helped found the mono-ha movement built on the relationship between raw materials and open space. For years the city asked him to build something here, and for years he said no. Stand on the lawn where the sculptures sit unroped, the same ground someone is probably jogging across right now.
