Pathways at the Bonte Museum on Jeju Island

The Bonte Museum building on Jeju Island

The Bonte Museum building on Jeju Island

▲ Bonte Museum
Bonte Museum in Jeju Island is a striking example of Brutalist architecture designed by Tadao Ando. With raw concrete walls, geometric lines, and interplay of light and shadow, the space itself becomes part of the experience. Inside, the museum bridges tradition and modernity through a thoughtful mix of contemporary art, Korean craft, and heritage objects.

Lacquered tray with mother-of-pearl grape design at the Bonte Museum on Jeju Island

▲ Lacquered Tray with Mother-of-Pearl Grape Design
This round wooden tray features an intricate mother-of-pearl inlay on its inner surface, depicting a grape motif symbolizing abundance and fertility. Coated in a clear lacquer that highlights the natural grain of the wood, the tray stands out with its unique three-legged structure — a design known as hojok-hyeong for its outward-curving legs that resemble a tiger's.

Ten-panel folding screen (Su Buja Sipjangsaengdo) at the Bonte Museum on Jeju Island

▲ Ten-Panel Folding Screen (Su Buja Sipjangsaengdo)
This ten-panel screen features two central pine trees in the form of a father and son, surrounded by traditional symbols of longevity — sun, clouds, turtle, deer, and bamboo. Rooted in Confucian values of filial piety and loyalty, the piece reflects reverence for both one’s father and the king as a national father figure. While early Sipjangsaengdo works followed strict formats, this late Joseon example shows a freer, more expressive composition, once reserved for royalty or the upper class.

[Exhibition 2: Contemporary Art]
I Never Read Wittgenstein by Nam Jun Paik at the Bonte Museum on Jeju Island

▲ I Never Read Wittgenstein by Nam June Paik (1998)
Nam June Paik playfully subverts Western logic through chaotic, non-narrative TV imagery framed around a test pattern screen. Referencing Wittgenstein’s belief that ethics and aesthetics lie beyond definition, Paik critiques rigid philosophy with humor and irony. As a Korean artist, he asserts an alternative perspective, urging a shift in how we think and perceive meaning.

1,000 Kisses by David Gerstein at the Bonte Museum on Jeju Island

▲ 1,000 Kisses by David Gerstein (2007)
David Gerstein blends painting and sculpture in vibrant, layered works full of movement and rhythm. 1000 Kisses features a playful cluster of curved lips in bold primary colors, delivering a bright, uplifting message. Using laser-cut metal or wood, hand-painted for added depth, his pieces blur the line between illustration, fine art, and object.

[Exhibition 3: Yayoi Kusama]
Pumpkin by Yayoi Kusama at the Bonte Museum on Jeju Island

▲ Pumpkin by Yayoi Kusama (2013)
Covered in her signature polka dots, Pumpkin is one of Yayoi Kusama’s most iconic works, found in major cultural spaces worldwide. The pumpkin’s warm, humorous form offered the artist comfort during a turbulent childhood, becoming a lasting symbol of stability and affection in her art.

Infinity Mirrored Room: Gleaming Lights of Souls by Yayoi Kusama at the Bonte Museum on Jeju Island

▲ Infinity Mirrored Room: Gleaming Lights of Souls by Yayoi Kusama (2008)
This immersive installation reflects Yayoi Kusama’s signature use of repetition and light to express her hallucinatory visions. Countless mirrored dots expand endlessly, symbolizing both infinite growth and self-erasure. Viewers are drawn into a trance-like state, momentarily losing their sense of self within the boundless space.

[Exhibition 4: Traditional Funeral Rites]
Traditional Funeral Bier (Sangyeo) at the Bonte Museum on Jeju Island

▲ Traditional Funeral Bier (Sangyeo)
Used to carry the deceased during funeral processions, the sangyeo reflects traditional Korean beliefs about death and the afterlife. Often decorated with symbolic ornaments to express unresolved wishes and prayers for peace in the next life, its design varied by region, status, and wealth. Modeled after the finest homes of the time, it represented a final gesture of love — sending the departed in honor and comfort.

Funerary Figurines (Kkokdu) at the Bonte Museum on Jeju Island

▲ Funerary Figurines (Kkokdu)
Kkokdu are wooden figurines placed on funeral biers to comfort and guide the deceased on their journey to the afterlife. Often shaped as child attendants, scholars, dancers, or immortals, they served both ritual and decorative purposes. Through cheerful gestures and symbolic roles, kkokdu reflect a desire to ease fear and sorrow, expressing hope for a peaceful passage rather than mourning alone.
