D MUSEUM greets the general public with its catchphrase, “an art museum where daily life becomes art.” In 2021, the museum relocated to the area near Seoul Forest Park, so that it could accommodate more visitors in its space. The museum not only hosts exhibitions by prominent photographers like Nick Knight (NICK KNIGHT: IMAGE, 2016) and Linda McCartney (Linda McCartney Retrospective, 2014) but also leads the efforts to promote awareness among the general public through invitational exhibitions featuring up-and-coming artists. Its relocation to Seoul Forest Park was marked by the special exhibition “Romantic Days,” which garnered much interest among the visitors as a chance to meet the works of artists born in the ‘80s and the ‘90s.

Seoul Forest opened on June 18, 2005 in what was a royal hunting ground and then later a military inspection facility. In more recent decades, the area served a wide variety of functions, including a water treatment facility, a golf course, horse racing track, and eventually a sports park. Consisting of four themed parks spread over approximately 595,000 ㎡ of land, Seoul Forest is an eco-friendly zone appreciated not only by the people of the city but also those visiting Seoul. Seoul Forest is rapidly developing into the premium city-park of Korea like Hyde Park in London and Central Park in New York.

Center Coffee (Seoul Forest) is located near Exit 5 of Seoul-forest Station (Suin–Bundang Line) in a residential district between Seongdong-gu Citizens' Sports Center and Seongsu Middle School. Note that the shop does not have its own parking lot. Because of its location in a busy city center, it is best to utilize buses, subway, and other public transportation. The cafe itself is situated on the second and third floors of a building, so it has a pleasant view. As one enters the building, one can find five blue ribbons adorning the doorway. Window seats here have a view of Seoul Forest. Signature menus include hand drip and mugwort lattes, and the menu is rounded out by beverages like espresso, cafe Americano, latte, and cappuccino. Because of its proximity to Seoul Forest, one can go for a leisurely walk there. Other nearby sites include Seongsu-dong Cafe Street, Seongsu Handmade Shoes Park, and Ttukseom Recreation Area.
