Oil Tank Culture Park is an eco-friendly cultural space located near the World Cup Stadium in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul.

Built to store a month’s worth of oil for Seoul citizens during the 1973 oil crisis,
the facility closed in 2000 and was transformed into a cultural and arts space through an urban regeneration project in 2013.
