"New York's Museum of Modern Art is making history - this time in Seoul. In a groundbreaking cultural exchange, MoMA has opened its first-ever dedicated bookstore outside of the United States, solidifying the South Korean capital's reputation as one of the world's most exciting art cities. This venture, two decades in the making, is the result of MoMA's ongoing collaboration with Hyundai Card, a partnership that has transformed into a cultural bridge between New York and Seoul."
"Located in Apgujeong, within the leafy neighborhood of Dosan Park, the new MoMA Bookstore is a meticulously designed space that invites discovery. It houses more than 1,100 titles spanning MoMA's own exhibition catalogs, contemporary art books, photography monographs, design publications, and exclusive printed materials not found elsewhere. The store's singular focus on books sets it apart from MoMA's traditional retail spaces, making it a pilgrimage site for readers, collectors, and art enthusiasts looking for inspiration and insight."
"What makes this bookstore distinctive is its curatorial precision. Every title has been chosen to reflect MoMA's mission to champion modern and contemporary art, ensuring that visitors get a selection as thoughtful as the exhibitions on display in New York. From deep dives into movements like Abstract Expressionism to explorations of global design, the selection speaks to both casual browsers and serious scholars."
