There is a space where you want to stay for a long time if you can. It is the Hoam Art Museum run by Samsung Cultural Foundation, and the beautiful garden surrounding it, Heewon. Heewon can be said to be a huge work where sperm and water harmonize and stone and flower trees are in harmony on the land of about 66,000㎡ (about 20,000 pyeong). At the end of the long garden trail, the Hoam Art Museum is a space that contains the beauty of Korean art.

After exiting Yeongdong Expressway Maseong IC, leave the noise of the amusement park and follow the road sign of Hoam Art Museum. The green tunnel that enters the Hoam Museum of Art leads the traveler into a quietness unlike the amusement park that is breathtaking.

The Hoam Art Museum, operated by the Samsung Cultural Foundation, is a space that exhibits Korean antiques collected by Samsung Group founders for 30 years.

Heewon, a spacious garden surrounding the museum, is located overlooking the calm shelter.

Bohwamun, modeled after Yoohyunmun at Deoksugung, is the starting point for a trip to Heewon. When entering the high gate made of stacks of stones with different saturation, there are a variety of stone sculptures called bucks. A little place stands between the fern and the flower bowl to greet the guests and guide the way. Stone Jangseung was built from the past with people's well-being and hope at the mouth of the village. In Heewon, there are more than 100 pairs of bucks.

After passing through the green space surrounded by wide plum trees, you will meet a small garden surrounded by ivy-covered fences. Yang Won-ri, roe pee, and lilies, which are the backyards of a woman who loves flowers, quarrels with her. A small pond and Gwaneumjeong stand around the wall. It is a sperm made after the love of Changdeokgung and is reflected in the water.

Our garden doesn't seem to open it all at once. There is no way to hide. It looks different when you approach one step and when you step back a few steps. The distant hillside becomes another fence in the garden, and sometimes the black tile roof of the sperm that looks over the fence becomes the mountain. Rainwater accumulates in one stone that seems to be indifferent, and the sky is filled.

After walking through the Bohwamun and walking through the forest path of plum trees, after seeing the small garden and the Gwaneumjeong, the garden of Heewon, centered around the large pond, emerges. Hoam Art Museum, the owner of Heewon, sits on a high stone wall and looks like a part of a mountain.

When he stands in front of the lawful paper where the lotus scent spreads, Heewon looks more open. On the front, Hoam Museum is located on the base of Seokchuk, and on the right is Hoamjeong, built by Shin Eung-soo, and on the left is a dense pine forest. It is a scenery that needs to be read at once, like a sentence in a book. There are various stone, stone pagoda, and stone benches around the legal area, so visitors to the park often stay for a long time.

Hoamjeong built by Shin Eung-soo's ranch is paired with the law and adds elegance to a bright garden without shade. The landscape of the garden seen through the open door is full, so it is a painting.

Ascending the granite staircase, you will meet the stone pillars that support the grass yard in front of the Hoam Art Museum. It is also called “flower stone” because it has patterns in giant stones that are slightly different in shape and size. It is said to have been built and airlifted from all over the country. Stones with clear patterns, like white flowers bloom, tell the story as if they are alive, and giraffe and ivy grown in the gap breathe life into a huge stone foundation. Buddhist statues, such as Seokjodangchomungwangbae, stand in front of the base, and you can feel godliness.

Another garden spreads out in the spacious space in front of the Hoam Art Museum, where you climb the natural stone stairs. A fence reminiscent of Jagyeongjeon in Gyeongbokgung Palace leads to a grassy open space. The moon-shaped round town hall stands next to Woldae, where bucks with various faces and facial expressions gather together. Each iris, baboon blossoms under a towering pine tree, and two peacocks play freely in search of food. If you stand with your back against the art museum and appreciate the mountain ridges surrounding the guard, the pace of walking into the art museum is slow and slow.

The impressive Hoam Art Museum is a museum that houses and exhibits more than 16,000 art pieces, in harmony with the blue tiled arches and arched stone reminiscent of Baegun Bridge in Bulguksa Temple. In the exhibition room on the first and second floors, you can see earthenware and ceramics, calligraphy and metal crafts, living crafts, and Buddhist art. In addition to the national treasure collections, the elegant living crafts that were likely in the ancient and masterpieces of the high-ranking masterpieces inspire admiration. Planning exhibitions with the theme of Korean ancient art are also gaining popularity.

In particular, the Docent program is in operation, so you can tour the exhibition room together and listen to detailed descriptions of exhibits. The rest area on the 2nd floor, where green hills enter through the glass, is a good place to sit and rest rather than look around the exhibition room. In the lecture hall on the 2nd floor, a 'Toyo Atelier' program is held every Saturday. If you pay 3,000 won per person for the material cost, you can enjoy art and souvenirs with children.

If you look around the elegant Korean art and go down to Heewon again, another scenery is different.

Pine trees, which stretched out into the sky higher than the distant mountain peaks, come into the snow, and wildflowers are in full bloom in a small valley rippling along the crevice.

In Heewon, various wildflowers bloom in season. It is not a flower garden that has been pruned and fenced, but flowers that bloom in front of the stone, beside the buck-soo.

If you want to enjoy Heewon's fashion a little more leisurely, head to the tea house on the left side of the Daeseokdan. The indoors where the green wave of the garden flows through the window are good, and the outdoor space where birds hear and squirrels go under the shade of the pine tree is recommended. You can also eat simple toast with tea.

If you go out to Heewon with your children, let's go to 'Seokin's Way'. The 'Seokin's Road', which follows the guard in front of Heewon, is a short promenade lined with Moon and Unmanned statues. There is a shelter with large parasols on the shore of the lake, so you can play with a simple lunch box and let the children jump.

After ‘Sukin ’s Road’, the path of walking slowly and pondering along the lake continues. It is a place where you can stay for a long time because there is a cool wind blowing shade.
