I don’t know whether it was the tiredness or the cold but I was a bit underwhelmed by the place. We paid W7000 in each and the place was about twice the size of a Korean apartment.
A lot of the sculptures were just random objects encased in ice and some of the installations didn’t seem to serve any particular purpose. However, there was an impressive ice Buddha and Korean palace that were worth a look up close.
For an extra W5000 there is the option to sculpt your own ice glass and have a drink out of it. However, in the exhibition I had sat down at an ice piano on an ice piano stool and surprise surprise ended up with a cold wet arse so I was keen to leave at that point.
If you want to do something quirky for under a tenner and you have half an hour to spare, then it’s worth popping into. It’s also very close to Insadong which is full of life with plenty of street food and stalls you could easily spend an afternoon wandering throughout.
Getting There:
Take the Subway to Anguk Station.
Take exit 1 and turn right. Take the second right down a pedestrianised street and walk about 5-7 minutes to the end until you get to a main street.
Turn right and its right there opposite a tourist information booth.
