- Date 2023
- City Seoul
- Country South Korea
Seoripul Open Art Storage will serve as the collective archive space for the Seoul Museum of Art, the Seoul Museum of Craft Art, and the Seoul Museum of History.

The building, characterized by a pyramidal glass structure atop mineral pedestal blocks and surrounded by a carefully defined garden, will be a prominent landmark visible from Seocho Road.
