Deoksugung Palace 덕수궁



The Deoksugung is a newer palace located right by the City Hall subway station entrance #2. Besides for the traditional Korean style building there are a couple of western style buildings, one of which houses an art museum. In the summer there are concerts held weekly. I will be posting more pictures and video in future posts.

Seoul Musem of Art 서울시립미술관




There are branches of the museum located throughout Seoul. The SeMA branch that I went to was the Seosomun branch located next to the Deoksugung Palace 덕수궁 (look forward to pictures as well as videos from there). The building it is located in originally was the Supreme Court building. It is registered as a cultural heritage building so when the museum was built, the original facade was preserved. The museum itself is quite small, but the exhibits are always changing.
