Nature/Greentherapy Piknic

Piknic is a cultural complex that was opened in 2018 in a remodeled building that originally housed a pharmaceutical company. It is interesting to see how experts from different fields participated in creating different parts of the space. Piknic is a hip place with a bright and familiar vibe, much like a picnic, but that still presents new and unfamiliar elements. Much attention is given to all of the exhibitions held at Piknic, including the first exhibition of the musician Ryuichi Sakamoto. Piknic is a place that is often visited by people looking to free themselves from their routines and to gain new inspiration. At the glass conservatory in front of the building is the Piknic brand shop and greenhouse where the vegetables used at zerocomplex, a Michelin Guide 1-star restaurant on the 1st floor are grown. The front view of the building seems to be a visualization of the meaning of the word “picnic.” The renovated, minimalistic building from the 1970s seems to harmonize with the surrounding hills, hidden in the downtown area between Namdaemun Market and the foot of Namsan Mountain. The rooftop lounge, directly connected to the back door, features a garden furnished with sun beds that envelope visitors in its relaxed ambience. From Piknic it is about a 20-minute leisurely walk to Namsan Park and a 40-minute walk to N Seoul Tower. Visitors should note that the first exhibition of 2021 is scheduled for April.
