Freer Art Museum

About

This building was originally constructed as a government building, but has transformed into a space steeped in dignified sentiment. Walking through corridors where a leisurely time seems to flow, the lyricism of Asian art, melted together with ancient myth and spirit, seeps in sweetly. The stillness of the courtyard calls to mind a thousand years of life, and the sentiment of local sculpture, where the colors of hanbok seem to flow over paint, quietly draws in the visitor. The space created by gathering handmade tiles and carvings seems to preserve an old sentiment even within lonely stretches of time. A deep, quiet atmosphere of life spreads softly here, naturally slowing one's footsteps.
