Basic Information

Overview

The Yun Dong-ju Literature Museum was opened in 2012 by remodeling the Cheongunsu Water Supply Compression Center and Water Tank, which had been neglected near the Inwangsan Mountain. The museum was created to remember the footsteps of poet Yoon Dong-ju and his gaze toward the world. The museum received the Korea Public Architecture Award in 2012 and the Seoul Metropolitan Government Architecture Award in 2014, and is attracting attention as a place that has newly created the value of space.


Attractions

There are three exhibition rooms that display the life of poet Yun Dong-ju in chronological order. The first exhibition room is about the life of poet Yun Dong-ju. The second exhibition room, "Open Well," is a space prepared with the motif of a well appearing in poet Yoon Dong-ju's poem "Self-Portrait". It expressed an "open well" by opening the top of an abandoned water tank. The third exhibition room, "Closed Well," is a quiet contemplation space where visitors can enjoy videos of his poetry world.


Accessibility 

The entryway is inclined. There is a drain cover at the main entrance, so manual wheelchair users and strollers need to pay attention to safety. The main entrance has no steps and the information desk is on the left side of the entrance. There is an accessible restroom for persons with disabilities at the public restroom near the Cheongun Par that is 120 meters uphill. The restroom is spacious enough for wheelchair users and the entrance is wide. There are parking facilities for persons with disabilities near the Chungwoon Literature Library and the Buam-dong Community Service Center parking lot.
