Leeum Museum 1 (Korean Traditional Art)
리움 미술관 M1 (한국 고미술)
byMario Botta[M.B.]
Mario Botta's terra-cotta-clad cone houses Leeum's collection of Korean traditional art (celadon, paintings, gold). Botta's symmetrical, brick-craft aesthetic was a pointed choice to frame ancient Korean artifacts. One of three Leeum buildings by international stars.
