Enterance .
When I left my car in the parking lot and came to the entrance, 
the style of Tadao Ando began to appear from the entrance. 
The entrance of the museum, which was built of solid fabricated concrete, 
was constructed of round circular columns and irregular stones stacked in layers, 
and the side wall was made of a folding-type glass wall, giving it a clear view. 
No exterior finish was seen anywhere. 
It is impressive that it was built using the characteristics of exposed concrete.

Flower Garden .
The first space outside the entrance is the Flower Garden. 
In the center of the garden is a red iron sculpture with a somewhat unfamiliar title, 
"For Gerard Munley Hopkins," by Mark D. Subero. 
This sculpture is said to be a work of kinetic art that moves according to the wind.
In contrast to the green grass on the floor, the intense red sculpture is impressive.

Water Garden .
After passing the stone wall, 
you will see a large pond and a red arched sculpture as before.
This work, which has become the signature of the Museum Mountain by Alexander Liberman's work, 
is a part that must be overlooked when entering the Museum Mountain.
The path between the ponds leading to the museum's main building is
also very well harmonized with the surrounding stone-stacked buildings, creating a sense of unity.
The calmly undulating pond floor is filled with numerous pebbles, 
and the shape of pebbles seen under the transparent water reminds us of a stream in the mountains.

Interior Architectural Style .
The interior of the museum is Tadao Ando itself.
Only the walls and floors made of exposed concrete, which cannot be found as a finishing material,
and the square window frame frame, decorate the walls in a large way.
As you walk along the corridor, a section that turns into orange lighting appears,
and before long, an exterior wall made of stone materials appears in the middle,
giving fun. From the entrance of the museum to the entrance to the main building, 
it is impressive that it is constructed so that the viewer feels
comfortable without any foreign feelings by using unified materials.

Museum Main Building .
Next, I looked at the main building of the museum. 
When I came out to the outside connected to the cafeteria inside the building, 
a beautiful view of the mountains of Gangwon-do spread out with a pond of calm depth.
Like the pond at the entrance, the pond, which is made in the form of a staircase, 
is harmonized with gravel filled in the floor and the landscape,
giving the impression of being in the valley water in the mountains. 
The backyard on the other side of the pond is filled with irregularly shaped stone, 
and its shape is connected in the same shape as the side wall,
which is also the same as the entrance and was completed with a sense of unity.

Nam June Baek Special Hall .
Museum San Museum contains works by Nam June Baek,  a master of Korean video art. 
The work is a spire erected in a dome-shaped structure similar to that of the Pantheon Hall of small size.
It is noteworthy that the ceiling has a hole that allows light and air to enter as it is,
and the angle of the light changes as the sun tilts over time.
Something ironic was the fact that the art museum was
built by Japanese architects and contained works by Korean artists.
