Yangju_Chang Ucchin Museum of Art Yangju City

I am simple

“When I was eight years old, there was a picture book and I drew by myself what was painted on it. As I looked carefully, the magpie in the book was drawn incorrectly, so I drew it all black even its eyes.”




Chang Ucchin, a painter who represents the Korean modern art, went to spend the remainder of his life, excluding a short period during which he was a part of the society, in a quiet countryside, living with the nature and passionately focusing on creative activities. He has presented a simple but deep and independent modeling vision that both adults and children love.




Chang Ucchin Museum of Art Yangju City located in Yangju, Gyeonggi-do was opened in April 2014 to commemorate his achievements and spirits and help the growth of the Korean modern art. The construction of the facility was inspired by Mr. Chang Ucchin’s famous tiger painting named .




The silhouette of a triangle on a rectangle as well as large windows have a similar form as the house we used to draw when we were young. By practicing the conviction of Artist Chang, the building and exhibition are all simple. Constituted of simple colors, the exhibition only displays a short writing that introduces the theme of each section and titles of the artworks. It is recommended that you carry an exhibition guide into the exhibition in order to increase the level of understanding of the artworks.




, a permanent exhibition celebrating the artist’s 100th birthday, and a joint exhibition titled , an annual event that commemorates the museum’s 4th anniversary, will continue until August. Also, from April to October this year, a number of people in the field of modern arts are invited for relay lectures to communicate with the public. In addition to the exhibition room, the venue also features a sculpture garden, video room, art shop, and café.




Walking out of the art museum, you are greeted by a gentle stream flowing in front. Along this tranquil water, you may take a simple but relaxing stroll.
