The Rodin Museum in Seoul, Korea, designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox to house two sculptures by Rodin, has been hailed as an architectural tour-de-force. Its undulating walls, entirely made of translucent glass, create a jewel-like, serene space far removed from the bustle of the Seoul business district, instead creating a place that blurs the differences between East and West, between art and commerce, and between the 19th and 21st century.

It includes numerous preparatory sketches, detailed technical drawings of the complex metal and glass wall system, and colour photographs of the finished structure.
