Grand Opening Exhibition - We Love Korea

The appeal of art transcends language and national boundaries, bringing people together. Whitestone Gallery has taken a new step forward to embody this spirit. On September 2, 2023, Whitestone Gallery Seoul celebrated its grand opening, a city that has recently become a major presence in the art scene. This is the first time that a Japan-based gallery has entered the Korean art scene, and is attracting a great deal of attention.

Whitestone Gallery Seoul is located in Yongsan-gu, Seoul. Namsan, rich in nature, is not only a popular tourist attraction with Seoul Tower at its center, but also a place of relaxation for the citizens of Seoul due to its abundant nature. The interior design of the gallery was overseen by world-renowned architect Kengo Kuma, and the gallery has been transformed to blend in with the beautiful landscape of Seoul. From the rooftop where the sculptures are displayed, visitors can enjoy a magnificent view of Seoul and the lush greenery backdrop of Mt. Namsan.
