Pyeongchang Mooee Arts Center (평창무이예술관)

The former Mooee Elementary School was transformed into Mooee Arts Center exhibiting works of noted Korean artists. It is located in the town of Bongpyeong-myeon in Pyeongchang-gun, which was the hometown of the famous Korean writer Lee Hyo-seok (1907-1942) and the background setting of his representative novel "When Buckwheat Flowers Bloom." Mooee Arts Center opened on April 18, 2001, after 2 years of preparation by Korean artists of various genres including the Western-style painter Jeong Yeon-seo, calligrapher Lee Cheon-seop, sculptor Oh Sang-wook, and potter Kwon Soon-beom.The schoolyard has been turned into an outdoor sculpture park displaying large-scale sculptures.
