“In the Flower Garden”: 63 Sky Art, the world’s highest art museum, is displaying about 50 flower-themed paintings, interactive installations and actual flower works by 40 Korean and foreign artists like Kim Whanki and Andy Warhol. The exhibition is divided into four parts. While the first division, “Beauty Garden,” shows relatively ordinary flower paintings, the second and third, “Fantastic Garden” and “Re-creation Garden,” exhibit abstract and reinterpreted paintings, plus installations featuring flowers. The final part, “Play Garden” is the most unique with many interactive installations that react to the viewers’ voices and movements and make beautiful images. The exhibition runs through Nov. 15 at 63 Sky Art in Yeouido, southwestern Seoul. Tickets are 12,000 won for adults, 11,000 won for adolescents and 10,000 won for children.

Sorry for the poor quality of pictures, but I wasn’t completely sure whether or not I was allowed to take photos of the art work. I did, however, find a few pictures to my liking, two of which I knew for sure I wasn’t supposed to take pictures of.. none the less, Roberto Britto:
The rest are an assortment of a few favorites, but if you have the time and are in the area, I would definitely suggest taking a day trip to 63 Building and having a look around. For 28,000원 you can go to the aquarium, art gallery, and view a showing at the IMAX! Not too bad~
**A few suggestions: Stop at Yeouinaru, not Yeouido via Line 1 on the subway. Exit 3 has a few buses that take you straight there (362, 261).
