Official information

Why it matters now

The exhibition is open now and runs through the end of 2026, giving F1963 a current anchor beyond its permanent architecture. It is also a useful example of Busan using a reused factory site to make its World Design Capital program visible before 2028.

A former wire factory in Busan's Suyeong-gu that was converted into a cultural complex while keeping much of its industrial frame. The site combines galleries, an art library, performance spaces, a large bookstore, cafes and outdoor paths, so the architecture is part of the visit rather than just a container for exhibitions.
