📚 Seoul Starfield Library | A dreamlike space surrounded by star-like books and light

📚Starfield Library, Seoul | A dreamlike space surrounded by star-like books and light This is not so much a "library" as it is a "giant artwork where books and light meet." The Starfield Library, located in the middle of COEX Mall in the heart of Seoul, Korea, is a photogenic space with 13m-high bookshelves that reach the ceiling. It's like a sci-fi movie set, and the time flows with mystery, intelligence, and tranquility. ⸻ ■What kind of place is Starfield Library? • Korean name: 별마당도서관 (Starfield Library) • English name: Starfield Library • Opening: Opened in 2017 inside COEX MALL • Meaning: "byol = star" "madang = square" → A poetic name that means "star square"✨ ⸻ ■This is amazing! 📖 Huge bookshelves with a ceiling height of 13 meters The atrium space surrounded by bookshelves is truly impressive. Korean, English, visual books, and more are lined up regardless of genre. 💡 Natural light x modern design The natural light that pours in from the skylights illuminates the bookshelves, showing different expressions at different times of the day. 🛋️ A quiet place of relaxation that anyone can enter Admission is free and no reservations are required. Anyone can relax and read a book in a calm space that you wouldn't expect to find in a shopping mall. 📸 A photo spot that's a hot topic on social media Even the sight of people sitting on the stepped benches reading books is beautiful, like a piece of art. A photo spot that's sure to look great on Instagram. ⸻ ■Experience notes • Admission fee: Free (anyone can enter freely) • Opening hours: 10:30-22:00 (open all year round) • Time required: 30 minutes to more than 1 hour if you want to take your time • Recommended time: Morning or evening light-up time (around 9pm is the best time to go) ⸻ ■Access • Directly connected to Exit 5 and 6 of Samseong Station on Subway Line 2 • Located in the central area of ​​COEX Mall (Starfield COEX MALL) ⸻ ■Recommended ways to enjoy • 📷First, take a picture of the whole view from directly in front (the best position is between the pillars) • ☕Get a takeout drink from the cafe and bakery right next door and have some reading time • 🎁 Enjoy touring the Korean goods shops and bookstores in COEX◎ ⸻ Hashtags #Starmadang Library #별마당도서관 #KoreaTrip #SeoulTourism #AbsolutelyFreeTrip #PhotogenicSpots #COEXMall #SeoulPhotoSpots #SoloTripInKorea ⸻
