Buyeo National Museum (former)
구 국립부여박물관
byKim Swoo-geun[K.S.G.](kim sue-gun)· 김수근
Kim Swoo-geun's controversial Baekje-period museum: critics in 1967 attacked the swooping concrete roof as too Japanese-temple-like, sparking national debate. The museum eventually moved to a new building in 1993, but Kim's structure still stands as a flashpoint moment in Korean architectural identity.
