Choi Jong-tae Exhibition Hall (Daejeon Creative Center)

A Daejeon Museum of Art branch in the old downtown, housed at the former Daejeon Creative Center site on Daejong-ro. The building has been refocused as a dedicated venue for Daejeon-born modern sculptor Choi Jong-tae, while the museum still identifies it through the Daejeon Creative Center lineage.
