Activity itinerary

작은따옴표 도림천점

  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Tucked away on a quiet alley in southern Seoul, this minimalist café is curated like a poem—with antique furniture, curated books, and curated silence. What you’ll experience: Aesthetic Pause Take a mindful break in a space filled with sunlight, warm wood, and curated stillness. The space invites reflection. Theme-Based Dialogue Over coffee or tea, we dive into a curated conversation around your chosen theme—creativity, memory, loss, belonging, or the art of observation. Notebook Moments Many guests find themselves jotting down thoughts or sketches here—if you’re inclined, a notebook is available. Local Artist Picks Depending on our dialogue, you may be introduced to a poem, a visual artist, or a short film that resonates with your theme.

Horim Museum Sillim

  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Unlike large national museums, Horim Museum offers a quieter, more intimate encounter with Korean heritage. As a filmmaker and poet, I guide guests to read beyond labels—to sense the silence between objects. What you’ll experience: • Guided Observation
Learn to view artifacts not just as historical objects but as living forms that carry traces of human touch, devotion, and memory. • Intimate Scale
Enjoy a slower pace in a space often missed by tourists—where each celadon curve or bronze detail has a story to whisper. • Emotion Mapping
Through poetic prompts and reflective conversation, we explore what certain objects stir in us: serenity, longing, awe. • Curated Highlights
Depending on the current exhibition, I highlight pieces that resonate with our tour’s theme or your creative interests.

모모루덴스

  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Step into the private workspace of an award-winning documentary filmmaker and poet. This is not a gallery or a museum—it's a living, breathing space where stories begin. What you’ll experience: • Explore the Director’s Creative Den
See storyboards, film memorabilia, and a collection of artifacts from over 70 countries the director has traveled to. • Meaningful Conversation Over Tea
Enjoy a quiet tea time while sharing thoughts on creativity, filmmaking, or your own artistic journey. The dialogue helps shape the rest of the day’s route. • Personal Archive & Object Stories
Discover intimate objects that carry emotional weight—props from past films, hand-written notes, and poetic fragments. • Tailored Itinerary Planning
Depending on your artistic interest (e.g., visual arts, literature, urban culture), the next stops in your tour—hidden galleries, poetic bookstores, or overlooked alleys—will be selected accordingly.

Donghak

  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket included
To close our journey, we gather at Donghak, a cozy Korean folk tavern beloved by artists and locals. Here, sharing food becomes sharing life. What you’ll experience: Traditional Flavors Enjoy seafood pancake (haemul pajeon) and makgeolli, a cloudy rice wine, just as Korean poets and painters once did. Living Culture Learn about the unspoken etiquette and symbolism behind Korean drinking culture—why we turn our heads, pour for others, and raise our glasses with both hands. Story Exchange This is more than a meal. It’s where travelers and the host reflect on the day’s emotional textures, making room for new connections and laughter. Option for Filming If you’ve selected the mini-documentary add-on, this warm atmosphere becomes the perfect closing scene.
