Boseong County Baekmin Art Museum

Korean name보성군립 백민미술관

Machine-translated from Korean. Show original

It was built as Korea's first county art museum with donations of works, collections (domestic and international works), and private property of Baekmin Jo Gyu-il, a local artist, and with support from national, provincial, and military funds. It opened as an art museum on December 29, 1993 by renovating an abandoned school on the right side of the road to Daewonsa Temple. On the first floor, there is an international pavilion with works by Chinese, Japanese, and French artists, as well as icons from the White People's Hall and the Tsarist Russian era.
The domestic gallery on the second floor is a gallery with complete natural lighting, which is rare in Korea. You can admire works by Oh Ji-ho, Oh Seung-woo, Heo Baek-ryun, and Son Jae-hyung, as well as a handwritten folding screen by Baekbeom Kim Gu, who briefly retired to Boseong during the Japanese colonial period. The natural lighting method is a technique that blocks harmful rays and allows only bright light to pass through, and the Musée d'Orsay in Paris is adopting this method.
