Art Above The City: Museum 1 & X-The-Sky

OVERVIEW

Admire the natural beauty and artistic flair of Busan through landmarks that capture the essence of this seaside metropolis. From crescent-shaped Gwangalli Beach, you will enjoy a sweeping view of Gwangan Bridge, a two-story suspension bridge that is nearly five miles long. Nicknamed Diamond Bridge, this technologically advanced architectural wonder has become a symbol of Busan’s vision for the future. Similarly, Museum 1 represents the contemporary art scene. While browsing the multi-sensory exhibits, you can expect to see videos, photography and paintings, some so cutting-edge that they react to sound and movement. Free time to relax at lengthy Haeundae Beach follows, during which you might stroll the wide stretch of sand with Busan’s modern skyline as a backdrop. For the ultimate view of the beach and the urban sprawl, you will ride the elevator to Busan X the Sky, an observation deck atop the country’s second-highest building. Expect to be awed.
