Gwangju Art Museum and Gwangju Folk Museum Tour

Today I went to Gwangju Art Museum and Gwangju Folk Museum with Khisa. Gwangju Art musem is located near the Biennale park and bus no. 16 goes there directly from GIST. Its a small Museum similar to an Art Gallery displaying various paintings. In total it has two floors containing three galleries. Gwangju Folk Museum is located on a fifteen minutes walk from Gwangju Art Museum. This museum is very nice and displays the folk culture of Korea and many photographs from the past and present of Korea. There is no entry ticket for art museum and 500 won for folk museum.

While using bus no. 16 you need to get off at culture and arts centre bus stop. The art museum is inside the culture and arts centre. The new gwangju museum of art is close to the gwangju folk museum inside the biennale/jungoe park and is much better with multiple storey art galleries and much more paintings.
