A schoolyard with a second life
In Bongpyeong, Pyeongchang, Mui Art Museum occupies a former elementary school. Opened in 2001, the venue uses old classrooms for indoor displays and activities, while the former schoolyard serves as an outdoor exhibition area. The familiar plan of a school makes the transformation into a cultural space especially tangible.
A different craft behind each doorway
The Korea Tourism Organization describes pottery work at Mui Dobang, a studio associated with painter Jeong Yeon-seo's buckwheat-flower paintings, and a calligraphy gallery. Sculpture, painting, ceramics and calligraphy share the site. Consider not only the artworks but the building's previous life as a classroom. Access to individual rooms and hands-on sessions may change.

What to look for
The reuse of the school is part of the experience. Look at local artists' work indoors, then compare it with the outdoor exhibition space where a playground used to be. Check weather, closure notices and whether specific experiences are operating before adding the venue to your itinerary.
