A few days ago, I went downtown and strolled along the Chungmuro and Jongno 3-ga street. There located several famous but old theaters. I sketched the buildings remembering the modern history of Seoul.
The top one was reconstructed at the present site. The middle one was remodelled into a multiple art performance complex building. The bottom is well preserved with original structure and is now being used for old people from a year ago.
