The Centre Pompidou Hanwha designed by French architecture studio Wilmotte & Associ\u00e9s<\/a> has been revealed ahead of its opening in Seoul, South Korea<\/a>, next month.<\/span><\/p>\n

Set to open in Seoul<\/a>‘s financial district on 4 June, the four-storey building contains two large galleries alongside a cafe, shop, restaurant and auditorium. It occupies the former annexe of the 63 Building skyscraper, which was reimagined by Paris-based Wilmotte & Associ\u00e9s<\/a>.<\/p>\n

An inaugural exhibition, named The Cubists: Inventing Modern Vision, will mark the museum’s opening and feature works from the museum’s collection.<\/p>\n

“Beginning with this inaugural exhibition, Centre Pompidou Hanwha aims to reinterpret the innovative artistic spirit of Centre Pompidou within Korea’s cultural context, establishing itself as a new cultural and artistic landmark in Seoul and an open platform for art,” the museum said.<\/p>\n

Externally, the structure’s upper floors have been clad in bands of translucent panels sat atop an exposed-concrete base.<\/p>\n

Chosen to evoke the forms of traditional Korean tiles, these panels draw light into the interior during the day while transforming the venue into a “box of light” at night.<\/p>\n

At roof level, an open-air terrace flanks an indoor restaurant overlooking the nearby Han River.<\/p>\n
