박수근미술관 1

자신의 그림에서 인간의 선함과 진실함을 표현코자 했던 화가 박수근. 고호 같은 광기나 피카소의 혁명성보다는 밀레처럼 진솔하고 선량한 시선으로 인생을 들여다본 그는 우리 시대 한국미술계의 독보적인 존재로 자리한다. 화가의 고향인 강원도 양구군 박수근 선생 생가 터에 200여 평 규모로 건립된 양구군립 박수근 미술관은 작가의 예술관과 인생관을 기리는 동시에 지역 대표 문화 공간이 되고자 하는 의도로 건립된 미술관이다. 박수근 미술관에서 만나게 되는 그의 작품들은 '앉아있는 두남자'를 비롯한 유화 3점, '나무와 두 여인', '탑돌이' 등의 판화, 수채화 '그림물감' ,그리고 수십 점의 드로잉 작품 등이다.

Dutayeon is located in the civilian control zone. Prior entry application is possible through the Yanggu Security Tourism Integrated Reservation Site or on-site registration on the day of visit. On the day of the visit, visitors must complete the entry application and pledge form at the Geumgangsan Information Center, wear a GPS device, and depart punctually under guidance from the center. The ecological trail route is from Dutayeon Parking Lot → Ecological Trail → Dutayeon Parking Lot, and visitors must return at the designated time after approximately one hour of sightseeing. Dutayeon is a waterfall and plunge pool formed where the Satacheon, a tributary of the Suipcheon, meanders through mountainous areas, and the meander is cut off (meander cutoff). A plunge pool is a round, deeply carved water basin below a waterfall, formed by scouring actions of falling water and gravel, including abrasion and hydraulic excavation. The name Dutayeon originates from the nearby Dutasa Temple. (Source: Gangwon Peace Area National Geopark)
