The Centre Pompidou Hanwha, born from a four-year partnership agreement signed in 2023 between the Hanwha Foundation of Culture, Seoul, and the Centre Pompidou, Paris, is scheduled to open in June.
\n\n\n\nThe museum will occupy a former aquarium in Yeouido that has been renovated by French architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte into a four-story venue with two main exhibition galleries. The stated aim of the Centre Pompidou Hanwha is to reinterpret the French museum’s collection ‘through Korea’s socio-cultural context’. Over the next four years, the Centre Pompidou Hanwha plans to present two exhibitions annually based on the Centre Pompidou’s collection, and two to three exhibitions per year centred on contemporary Korean art.
\n\n\n\nThe inaugural exhibition, The Cubists: Inventing Modern Vision, will trace the chronological development of Cubism and will include a section focusing on the intersections between western Cubism and Korean art.
\n\n\n\nCentre Pompidou Hanwha will be the latest to open in a series of partnerships between the Parisian museum – which is currently closed for renovations – and foreign cultural institutions, municipal administrations and developers. The Centre already operates museums in Malaga and Shanghai, and is set to open new sites in Brussels later this year and in in Iguaçu Falls in 2028.
