Architecture

The SNUMoA was designed by Rem Koolhaas.[43] The structure's exterior is made of U-glass which reveals the underlying structural steel framed trusses. The building is located on sloping site which the architect utilized in the final design. The museum is cantilevered on a concrete core, thus giving the appearance of lightness and floating in space. The museum is divided into four basic program areas: Operations, Educational, Exhibition, and Library. The slope of the building benefits the auditorium which has ramped seating. [44]

Directions

Once you arrive, the MoA is located to the left of the main gate of the Seoul National University Gwanak Campus. Take the subway or a bus to the main gate and walk up the staircase of the amphi-plaza which is to the left of the gate.
