Autumn Garden of Thought in the Arms of the Museum, Rooftop Garden of the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Gwacheon
The National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMCA) Gwacheon (hereinafter referred to as Gwacheon Hall) is located at the foot of Cheonggye Mountain, making it a perfect place to visit. This year, the exhibition adds to the autumn mood. ‘Garden of Time’ is a circular structure with a diameter of 39m designed on the roof of Gwacheon Pavilion by Joho Architecture (architect Lee Jung-hun). The variation of the shadows of the white pipe and the surrounding nature outside the garden is interesting. As a starting point, Nam June Paik’s ‘More and More’ is good. After being suspended for restoration since 2018, it was restarted on September 15th. From the 1st floor to the entrance of the ‘Garden of Time’ on the 3rd floor, move along the spiral passageway and watch. On the lower floor in the middle of the ‘Garden of Time’, there is an exhibition of artist Hwang Ji-hae’s Circular Garden Project: Moonroot – Slow and Fast Dialogue. ‘Dalroot – slow and fast conversation’ uses the vegetation of the surrounding mountains and fields as its main material, and has moved the ecology of our land. Gwacheon Hall is open from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm (Rooftop Garden opens at 5:30 pm), and is closed on Mondays. Gwacheon National Science Museum is a treasure trove of science experiences as a travel destination close to Gwacheon. Ahae Museum is a place where traditional toys are exhibited and experienced. The nearby Chusa Museum is mesmerized by Gwajichodang, and the gentle sound of water from a well heard in the numaru.
