The former Mooee Elementary School was transformed into Mooee Arts Center exhibiting works of noted Korean artists. It is located in the town of Bongpyeong-myeon in Pyeongchang-gun, which was the hometown of the famous Korean writer Lee Hyo-seok (1907-1942) and the background setting of his representative novel “When Buckwheat Flowers Bloom.” Mooee Arts Center opened on April 18, 2001, after 2 years of preparation by Korean artists of various genres including the Western-style painter Jeong Yeon-seo, calligrapher Lee Cheon-seop, sculptor Oh Sang-wook, and potter Kwon Soon-beom.
The schoolyard has been turned into an outdoor sculpture park displaying large-scale sculptures. The arts center also offers hands-on experience programs and a chance to view the artists creating their pieces.

At that time, the farm was just a small plot of land, but has expanded to the current 33,000 ㎡ and is one of Pyeongchang’s representative tourist attractions. The farm offers ten themed gardens with over 150 herbs such as lavender and sage. Delicious dishes and drinks made with herbs cultivated on the farm are available at the restaurant and cafe. Visitors can also make herbal soap and candles in the herb classroom, and enjoy cultural events throughout the farm.
