Located on Euijae-ro, on the edge of Mudeung Mountain, the Mudeung Museum of Contemporary Art is always busy with tourists who are going to Jeungshim-Sa (the Jeungshim Buddhist temple), and the Mudeung Mountain. Founded on October 2nd, 2007 by the museum’s Director Jung Songgyu, who is also an artist, the museum presents many exhibits including curated shows, special exhibitions, invitation exhibitions and educational programs; such as arts and culture education and children’s museum programs. Through exhibitions the museum attempts to enhance the capability of the local artists. Through the ‘Creation Studio for town’ program, the museum runs various art education programs for the local community, and is devoted to enhancing art, cultural life, and communication for the local people. In order to develop progressive and diverse programs, the museum works on a collaborative research project between public institutes and private art museums, and through these efforts, contributes to the vitalization of local art and culture.
