While relatively unknown and undervisited by the average western tourist, Seoul, South Korea is one destination Travel Savvy editors belive belongs on everyone's bucket list. Located in South Korea’s fashion hub, the locally popular destination Dongdaemun Design Plaza is known for its futuristic structure and curvaceous metallic façade (designed by the brilliant female architect Zaha Hadid) that lights up when the sun goes down. This iconic landmark is comprised of five major halls: Art Hall, Museum, Design Lab, Design Market, and Dongdaemun History and Culture Park, each housing an impressive rotation of exhibitions, gallery shows, and shopping opportunies. The verdict? This truly unique South Korean attraction is one you must see for yourself!

We all have heard of The Louvre in Paris and The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, but there are dozens of stunningly epic museums around the globe that, year after year, go undiscovered by the common tourist.

These attractions are truly hidden gems in their own right, and we'd like to share our favorites with you! From France to Japan, we’ve rounded up some of the most notable museums you must visit!
