WONJU, Gangwon Province ― Hansol Museum, home to a lifetime art collection of the founder and adviser to Hansol Group Lee In-hee, the eldest daughter of Samsung’s founding chairman Lee Byung-chul, opened its doors to the public.
The museum attracted great attention from the public even before its opening with some big name art figures involved in the project, such as Japanese architect Tadao Ando, who designed the museum, and American artist James Turrell.

Sitting next to Oak Valley, one of Korea’s biggest resort towns run by Hansol, the museum is set in the pristine nature of Gangwon Province.
“The museum serves a different role from other art museums. It is a museum the like of which has never been seen. Our goal is to create a new paradigm for the future of museums,” Oh Kwang-su, director of the museum, said during a press conference on Wednesday at the museum.

“The museum is a space that creates harmony between nature and human beings and nature and art. Not only artworks on display inside the museum, but the outside gardens become art. The museum aims to create a place that offers sound rest and meditation through art,” said Oh.
The museum is designed by Tadao Ando, who incorporated natural materials found in the surroundings into the building’s simple geometry. Reminiscent of his previous museum designs, the building stands as a work of art that beautifully sits on a mountain top, slightly higher than Mount Namsan in Seoul.
