Amorepacific Museum of Art (APMA)

The Amorepacific Museum of Art lives inside the cosmetics group's headquarters, a pale cube designed by David Chipperfield with white porcelain as its motif, right on top of Sinyongsan Station. Even without a ticket, the three-story atrium on the ground floor is worth a look: it holds the museum lobby, a shop, a small display space called APMA Cabinet and apLAP, a library of exhibition catalogues from around the world. The main galleries are on the basement level and change program every few months, mixing Korean traditional art from the founder's collection with major contemporary shows. Until 28 February 2027 they host Sol LeWitt: Open Structure, the conceptual artist's first large retrospective in Korea, with about 45 works including 13 wall drawings painted on site from LeWitt's written instructions. Photography is allowed except in marked areas, a free audio guide works through the APMA Guide app, and lockers are free. Because the museum closes between shows, check the website before you go.
