(Yongin- KOREA) Oct.10 - A museum dedicated to the works of Paik Nam June, the artist famous for his electronic art, has opened in Yongin, Korea. The design for the museum was chosen from the submission of 430 blueprints from various competitors. The winner was German architect Kirsten Schemel.

Paik, who died in 2006, was a Korea-born American artist who worked with various media and considered by some to be the first video artist.
