BOAN 1942 in Tongui-dong is a historical space with over 80 years of tradition, having served as a place of rest for travelers since 1942.
Starting in 2007, it was reimagined into a cultural production space for creative minds, and in 2017, it evolved into BOAN 1942 from Boan Inn. It is a cultural arts complex, featuring an exhibition space, a bookstore, and a cafe. The place explores contemporary art and the possibilities of diverse media, with the goal of presenting a new cultural ecosystem through artistic practice. Boan Stay, located on the third and fourth floors, offers a lodging space for cultural nomads with panoramic views of the unique scenery of Seochon, including Bukaksan Mountain, Gyeongbokgung Palace, and traditional hanok homes..
