The National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul (MMCA Seoul) opened in 2013 as a branch location of the MMCA, opened in 1986 in Gwacheon. The museum site was where many of Korea’s historical and political developments were achieved, both during the Joseon dynastay and after the Korean War. The Seoul branch of MMCA stands out from other museums through its use of Korea’s traditional architectural concept of “madang,” a spacious courtyard where people can come and gather to socialize. The exterior of the building stands in harmony with the surrounding landscape. Inside, the museum is equipped with many facilities, including a reference center, project gallery theater and multipurpose hall. MMCA Seoul strives to accommodate every mode of new artistic endeavor and to communicate with the public.
