Introduction
In 2013, the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea opened a new branch in Sogyeok-dong, Jongno-gu at the former site of the Defense Security Command. The announcement for the construction of the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul (MMCA Seoul) came out in 2009, and the architecture for the museum was selected through idea proposals and an
architectural design competition in 2010. What makes the Seoul branch different
from the others is that it introduced Korea’s traditional architectural concept of ‘madang’, which is a
spacious courtyard where people can come in and gather together to socialize. MMCA Seoul's
building is also designed to harmonize with the surrounding nature around the city.
Equipped with facilities including a reference center, a project gallery theater and a
multipurpose hall, MMCA Seoul strives to accommodate every mode of new artistic endeavor and to
communicate with the public. The site is where Korea’s historical and political developments were achieved.
Most of the old buildings are gone but a few still remains to remind people
of its significant role.
MMCA Seoul was inaugurated on November 12, 2013
