Opened in 2011 as the official headquarters of the Busan International Film Festival (BIFF), this architectural award-winning complex not only houses editing rooms and scores of state-of-the-art cinemas, but also features the world's longest cantilever roof. Perhaps most impressive is the BIFF Archive, where you can check out any film screened in the festival's history and watch it on your own private viewer.
Hosting exhibitions by modern Korean artists rather than big-name international draw cards is exactly what makes the BOMA interesting. Recent Korean art and design has a distinct aesthetic and is, in many cases, politically influenced. The BOMA offers visitors insight into recent Korean history and political thought through the eyes of the peninsula's artists. Located close to Centrum City, it is well worth taking an hour or so to visit.
With over 80 million LEDs covering the floor, ceiling, and walls, this enthralling complex across from the Busan Cinema Center is dedicated to the constantly evolving medium of digital art. Museum 1 is the perfect place to lose yourself for a couple of hours while wandering among the dazzling, surreal, and—at times, psychedelic—audiovisual installations. Artist manifestos for each work is available in both English and Korean.
