One of the unexpected highlights of my time in Seoul came during a few hours of free time. I asked my friend, Lisa, what she was planning to do, and when she told me she was heading to the Leeum Museum of Art, I happily joined her.
Our visit included the thought-provoking Tino Sehgal exhibition, which was unlike any museum experience I have had before. Instead of paintings or sculptures, the exhibition was created through live interactions with people, inviting visitors to think about communication, movement, and human connection in new ways.
The museum itself beautifully blends traditional Korean art with contemporary works, creating a space where history and modern creativity meet.
It challenged me to think differently about what art can be and reminded me that learning often happens when we step outside of our plans and embrace unexpected opportunities.
As an educator, I left inspired by the power of experiential learning. Sometimes the most memorable lessons are the ones we never planned for.
