What image first comes to mind when talking about Haeundae? Obviously, you will imagine the vast white sandy beach, the cool sea, buildings rising behind the beach, splendid night views, and gorgeous people.
However, Dalmaji Pass at the edge of Haeundae provides a distinctive space where you can enjoy a leisurely walk while appreciating artworks, leaving behind the hustle and bustle of life.

The Dalmaji Galley Zone has around 20 galleries, lining a romantic alley.
But what do you think of a gallery? For some reason, it feels intimidating, and even if you get up the nerve to enter, you’d feel out of place and immediately exit.
For those who feel uncomfortable and anxious in exploring galleries, the Dalmaji Hill Gallery Tour is available from April to October (except in August).

Anyone can participate in the tour by contacting the Haeundae-gu Office via phone or online. This is a 3 hr tour program that will give you an opportunity to appreciate the artworks in Dalmaji Road’s galleries with a professor who will guide and explain the works for you. It’s a journey to help you enjoy artworks by familiarizing those that seem utterly distant.

Let’s begin the Dalmaji Hill Gallery Tour led by a professor. As participants share fragmentary ideas with each other on the way to the first destination, you’ll reach it in no time. Along with its eye-catching exterior, the exhibition hall’s white walls are filled with artworks. This art gallery conveys the artists’ enthusiasm mainly through invitational and special exhibitions regarding popular culture and art in our daily lives. In addition to the curator’s explanation of the displayed works, you can be lucky enough to listen to artists’ descriptions of their works directly.

On the way to the next gallery—as you’re probably still basking in the first venue’s afterglow—the road may look slightly different. The second destination, which always presents something novel, emphasizes its role as a complex cultural space for holding various cultural activities, as well as special exhibitions designed to showcase a broad spectrum of contemporary art. The curator’s descriptions will give you new insights into contemporary art’s diverse genres that could otherwise be unknown.

Let’s move on to the next gallery. Aren’t you already curious about it?
This is the last gallery to be introduced, taking pride in its magnificent structure among a grove of green trees with an antique stone staircase greeting the visitors. Marking the 30th anniversary of the opening, it is where you can appreciate local and international masterpieces. The simple yet bold exhibition hall interior allows you to enjoy the works of artists who represent contemporary art while listening to their detailed descriptions.

Each gallery features different exhibitions every month, so you can appreciate new works every time you join the tour. The Dalmaji Hill Gallery Tour’s main attraction is various galleries with different colors, allowing an introduction to diverse art genres.
Come and join the Dalmaji Hill Gallery Tour, a journey of enlightenment about the world of art.
