The National Museum of Contemporary Art, Korea

The art teacher and her husband took me to the Museum of Modern Art.

Here is a picture of some "totem poles" that were in the front.


They have some great pieces here including a huge display from a Korean-American digital artist.  It is probably about 5 stories high and fills up the center of a huge spiral staircase.


I was also amazed, that in a country where there are so many squatty potties, there are also a TON of rather advanced toilets in public places.   This is a toilet/bidet is a the restroom of the museum. 

I don't like to use them becuase all the buttons are in Korean.  I am also not sure I feel it is super sanitary. 

The jury is still out, but at least it's good for a chuckle every time I see one.
