Came across a charming museum in Heyri Art Village, Museum of Modern History of Korea (한국 근현대사 박물관). That time we ran out of time so I didn't get to go inside the museum. But the things that they have in front of the building were very interesting. Maybe next time.

Our pit stop for lunch during out Heyri Art Village visit was Subi, a Ramen shop inside the village. The place has some cute decorations and we met a nice lady who worked there that we ended up chatting with. Knowing that we are learning Korean, she even offered to introduce us to her kids to practice our Korean. Definitely going to go back again if I have the time :)
Took a day trip to Paju and visited Heyri Art Village. The complex is definitely interesting and if you are a fan of architectural buildings, coming here might be fun for you. I went on a weekday and the place was pretty quite. I only saw a couple of people around the relatively big complex. Nevertheless, it still fun though because it feels like we own the place :p . Inside Heyri Art Village, there are many different museums, art galleries, artists' workrooms, restaurants and cafes that you can visit. So there's definitely plenty to see.
Visited Foresta Book Cafe at Heyri Art Village a couple of weeks ago when I went to Paju. I was there on a weekday, so the cafe was pretty quite and only a couple of people were there. I have to say I love this place. High ceilings and plenty of natural lights that come into the place makes this a perfect place to read, study, or if you simply want to escape the hustle bustle of the city (although I'm not too sure how this place is on weekends though). Walking in, you'll be greeted with colorful tables and chairs and the big triangle tables in the center of the room is a nice touch to the interior of the cafe. For Korean drama viewers out there, you might've seen this place from a couple of dramas. The very recent one that I watched is the scene from 'Fated to Love You'. The cafe is also connected to the bookstore, although I don't think you can bring your drinks to the bookstore. If you're visiting Heyri Art Village in Paju, I would recommend visiting this place.
