I loved this museum so much! The seashells and paintings exhibited at this museum is awesome and seriously beautiful. Everything that you see in and around this museum is so artistic and shows so much of passion in it. The cafe within the vicinity is equally beautiful that offers good coffee and bread too!

Bonte Museum

Reviewed By thelonious22

Bonte Museum was designed by Tadao Ando who designed scores of museums (including the Suntory Museum in Osaka) in Japan so the building itself is very photogenic. The complex is divided into five galleries with one of them permanently housing two works by Yayoi Kusama, Pumpkin and the Infinity Mirrored Room (each visitor gets two minutes inside). One gallery is dedicated to Tadao Ando’s meditation room while the rest of the artwork inside rotates. The other three galleries were pretty bland with one dedicated to Korean traditional crafts and the other two dedicated to temporary exhibitions. Each gallery is relatively small with the entire museum taking a little over an hour to check out. The spacious surrounding area is a nice spot to chill after checking out the art if the weather is nice and despite the steep admission, it was still a worthwhile stop.

Teddy Bear Museum Jeju

Welcome to the first Teddy Bear Museum in Korea. Here you will find everything you want to know about Teddy Bears. Teddy Bears have been loved and cherished since they were first introduced over 100 years ago. There are now millions of people who collect Teddy Bears. They seek out old, unique and valuable teddy bears for their personal collections. Our Teddy Bear Museum opened especially for the European collectors. The Teddy Bear Museum is more exciting than ever with "Teddy Bear" entertainment as never seen before. Jeju Teddy Bear Museum opened on April 24, 2001. It contains two galleries, a museum gift shop, and a museum cafe. Also, on site is a museum bar/restaurant, a wonderful place to meet friends, family, and lovers. From the outside garden, there is a view of Jung-Mun Beach.

I wasn't really keen on dropping by Teddy Bear Museum; but since our tour dropoff destination was literally across it, we decided to just check out the museum. I never expected that I'd enjoy it as much as I did. The museum is relatively small, but its attention to detail is amazing. Exhibits range from historical events, famous movies/characters (Titanic, Snow White, Disney), notable figures (Steve Jobs, Michael Jackson, Audrey Hepburn), famous works of art (Mona Lisa, The Thinker) among so many others. Highlights would be its Louis Vuitton bear as well as its immensely groovy Elvis Presley bear who would serenade you with the King's greatest hits.
