About trazy local guide

Ahn Sungjin
Art history major and local guide based in Seoul, Korea
Hi, I'm Sungjin from Seoul, Korea. I graduated from the Art Department of Hongik University and studied Art History and Theory. I am eager to introduce to you the dynamic works of Korean artists, as well as introduce to you the finest delicacies of Seoul.

Overview

Join a guided tour of the MMCA led by a local guide with a major in art history.

This tour will guide you through the art world with the curation of a local tour guide who majored in Art History and Theory at Hongik University, well known for its prestigious art college. Modern and contemporary art may seem puzzling at first. In this tour, you will go through the modern and contemporary art world and its logic, and the paths of how we got here today. See 2 to 3 exhibitions held at the MMCA. Afterward, explore the Bukchon/Anguk area, full of authentic Korean restaurants and enjoy delicacies such as bossam, jokbal, K-BBQ, or bibimbap.

Why this tour?
  • MMCA Seoul: a prominent art gallery featuring an extensive collection of Korean and international modern and contemporary art.
  • A small group tour led by an art major who will make your experience more accessible and enjoyable.
  • The gallery is located in the heart of the city, near Gyeongbokgung and other cultural landmarks.
  • Venture into the Bukchon/Anguk area to indulge in local culinary delights.
