The Dalin Museum of Contemporary Art was founded in 1996 and moved from Daejeon, Korea, to Zhonglu District, Seoul, in 2002, to study and present contemporary art with photography as the core. The Museum in Bell Road was designed by Vincent Cornu, a French architect. At the beginning of the design, the need to display photographs was taken into account in humidity, lighting and temperature. The construction of the museum was undertaken by Dalin Group itself.
