Yeulmaru and Jangdo Art Island 예울마루·예술의섬 장도
Yeosu · Soho & Ungcheon · Museums & exhibits
An arts center stands beside a small tidal islet, with theaters, galleries and a seaside lawn. The islet, Jangdo, is reached by a footbridge that can flood at high tide, so check the tide table before you set off. Exhibitions change over the year, and entry may be free for some and charged for others.
Inside, the air is cool and quiet, which makes a refreshing change from the beach. The sea view from the terrace is part of the appeal, and a cafe serves drinks. English information may be limited.
Opening days follow a weekly schedule, so confirm before you travel.
It is a 20 to 30 minute taxi ride from downtown Yeosu, near the Soho coast. (Show a driver: 예울마루)
