Leeum Museum of Art

60-16 Itaewon-ro 55-gil, Yongsan District, Seoul

Three-building private art museum pairing ancient Korean treasures with modern and contemporary masterworks.

This guide to the Leeum Museum of Art in Seoul opens with a January 2008 police raid on Samsung chairman Lee Kun-hee's home and office, hunting evidence of a slush fund and art bought with hidden money. It follows Lee's decades as the country's most obsessive private art collector, chasing rare porcelain and treasures the way his father once had, and the outcome of his conviction on tax evasion. Walk between the museum's three buildings and you're moving between three different architects working side by side, with centuries-old celadon sharing space with Warhol and Rothko.
