SEOUL, Sept. 27 (Korea Bizwire) — Leeum, Samsung Museum of Art and Ho-Am Art Museum will reopen next month after closing last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the foundation that runs them said Monday.
The Samsung Foundation of Culture said both facilities will reopen their doors on Oct. 8, more than 19 months after they were shut down on Feb. 25, 2020, at the start of the pandemic.
The foundation said both museums underwent renovations during the intervening period to improve visitors’ experiences.
