Podo Museum, housed in an elegant single-story hanok-style structure within the Podo Hotel in Jeju's Hallim-eup, is an art museum dedicated to themes of migration, refuge, and shared humanity. Opened in 2021 by the SB Foundation, its stated mission is to engage global social issues — displacement, climate refugees, racial and gender equity — through rotating exhibitions by both Korean and international contemporary artists. Galleries are low-ceilinged and intimate, designed so visitors feel the physical proximity of the works; past shows have featured Do Ho Suh, Ai Weiwei, and JR. A reflective water garden and volcanic-rock landscape designed by Itami Jun's son Yoo Ihwan connect the museum's interior to Jeju's distinctive natural setting.
