After walking for about 15 minutes from the entrance of Chunhyang Theme Park, you will reach the art museum named after Kim Byung Jong, an artist from Namwon. Kim is an artist well known for his own unique painting style that encompasses Oriental, Western, traditional and contemporary art. He donated 291 of his own works and over 3,000 books and art brochures, which eventually led to the opening of the Kim Byung Jong Art Museum in 2018. Living up to its reputation as a rural art museum, it boasts an extremely beautiful landscape in harmony with the mountains. The art museum is under the direct operation of the city of Namwon and it serves to promote local art by providing exhibit spaces for artists from the region. Kim Byung Jong Art Museum became famous for its opulent exterior. On both sides of the entry path leading into a square, protruded building, you find gentle-appearing water floating over a stair-type stone floor. It is also a popular spot to take mirror pictures and sunset photos, which attracts many people throughout the year. Kim Byung Jong Art Museum consists of three galleries and, among them, Gallery 2 is a space where you can enjoy the Jirisan Mountain ridges through the window like a painting, so we recommend you to stop by. Hwacheopgihaeng Book Cafe on the first floor of the art museum serves “Mian” coffee, which is aptly named because it is located inside an art museum or the coffee is just too delicious. There is also a book cafe on the first floor of the art museum where you can rest after think about the art pieces you have just seen.
