Yumin Art Nouveau Museum shows the Ecole de Nancy glass craft that Jin Gi Hong (Yumin, 1917-1986), former chairman of Joongang Ilbo, collected over many years. Art Nouveau was a short but intense movement that struck Europe from the 1890s to the 1910s, insisting art belonged in everyday life — in furniture, glass, jewellery, stained glass and posters. Its forms are smooth, flexible curves that recall vines and ivy.

Art Nouveau of France was a short yet intense movement that struck Europe and the world from 1890 to 1910s and it emphasized art in everyday life. It naturally penetrated craft and architecture and attempted to bring art into everyday day through paintings and decorative art, such as furniture, glass craft, jewelry, stained glass, and posters. The Art Nouveau style inspired by nature is characterized by smooth, flexible curves that remind you of plants, such as vines and ivy.
