Changchon, South Korea · South Korea
The home and studio of Korean national painter Park No-soo, known for his expressive ink and colour paintings. Set in in the countryside of South Korea, the artist home draws visitors from around the world who come to experience its unique atmosphere firsthand.
The artist home rewards careful exploration. Its Korean ink painting, dating from the mid-20th century, sets it apart from more conventional museums. The influence of Korean modernism is evident throughout.
The experience of visiting is made all the more memorable by the rural surroundings. Knowledgeable guides are on hand to provide context, and the artist home is well set up for both independent exploration and guided tours. A visit here is one that tends to linger in the memory.
We spent about two hours here and wished we'd had more time. The artist's home is extraordinary. Bring comfortable shoes and allow at least two hours.
Visited with my partner and we both agreed: truly special. Everything from the national painter to the overall atmosphere is superb. Particularly recommended for families.
Beautifully preserved and thoughtfully presented. The Korean ink painting alone makes it worth the trip. Would happily visit again.
