The Centre Pompidou Hanwha is scheduled to open its doors in Seoul in June 2026, following a three-year construction period. Located within the iconic 63 Building in the Yeouido district, the 10,000-square-meter facility replaces a former aquarium with a four-story "box of light" designed to maximize natural illumination.
This expansion marks a significant milestone in the Centre Pompidou's global strategy and reinforces Seoul's growing status as a premier international art hub. By partnering with the Hanwha Group, the French institution secures a major foothold in the Asian market, bringing its prestigious modern and contemporary collection to a new demographic in South Korea's financial heart.
