Kimchungup Architecture Museum

Gyeonggi-do


Architecture buffs will dig this specialist museum beside a tributary of the Anyang-cheon. Kim Chung-Up was a prominent Korean architect who designed parts of the United Nations Memorial Cemetery in Busan. The adjacent Anyang Museum has a nice rooftop cafe, while out front is the Garden of Disappearing Letters, part of the Anyang Public Art Project (www.apap.or.kr).
