Arte Museum


Arte Museum is one of South Korea's largest art franchises, with a number of immersive installations around the world. The concept was created by the Seoul-based Korean digital design firm d'strict with the original location opened in Jeju City, South Korea in 2020.

Design

Arte Museums feature immersive exhibits which are self-guided and spread across thousands of square feet. They use projection mappings, multi-image control and sensor-based interaction technology. Select sound design is by music director Young-gyu Jang, the film composer of films such as Train to Busan and The Wailing. The current artistic director is Jin Lee and CEO is Lee Sung-ho. The museum also includes a cafe.
