Seek a tranquil escape from the urban bustle and immerse yourself in the soothing rhythm of craft art at Seoul Museum of Craft Art. Situated in the bustling core of Seoul, just a stone's throw away from Anguk Station and the historic Insa-dong and Bukchon neighborhoods, the museum is set to transform into an evening haven after dark this fall.
Residents and visitors alike are encouraged to unwind and engage in a variety of activities, ranging from open-air yoga sessions to hands-on traditional craft workshops. These programs have been meticulously crafted to offer more leisure opportunities for residents and contribute to Seoul's mission of expanding nighttime cultural experiences.
The first round of yoga and meditation sessions will commence on September 19 and continue through October 14, featuring six sessions each starting at 6:30 p.m. These sessions will be held outdoors, with participants convening at the Craft Yard and on the rooftop. To create an immersive environment, professional instructors will guide attendees through yoga and meditation practices, accompanied by a selection of ethereal sounds.
These include the melodic tones of singing bowls, the melodic plucking of a traditional Korean zither, the resonant echoes of handpans, and the reverberating vibrations of gongs. It is anticipated that around 880 individuals will take part in these sessions, providing a serene and enriching experience for all.
