Mullae-dong in Yeongdeungpo-gu was once Seoul's biggest metalworking district. After the industry shrank, artists and musicians moved into empty workshops from the 2000s for the cheaper rent. Today working ironworks sit next to studios, murals, steel sculptures, small galleries, cafés and pubs in the alleys of Mullae Creative Village. Most workshops close on weekends, but the art painted on their shutters and doors is still there to see.
