BTS’ RM to Showcase Personal Art Collection at San Francisco’s MoMA

BTS leader RM is set to bring his passion for art to one of America’s most renown museums.

The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art announced an upcoming exhibition titled ‘RM x SFMoMA,’ which will feature around 200 works from RM’s personal collection alongside the museum’s own masterpieces.

Opening in October 2026 and running through February 2027, the show marks the first time RM’s collection will be displayed publicly in the United States. 

The exhibition will be co-curated by RM with SFMoMA curators América Castillo and Kim Hyo-eun.

RM’s personal collection includes works by celebrated Korean artists such as Yun Hyong-keun, Park Re-hyun, and Chang Ucchin.

These will be shown alongside pieces by international icons like Mark Rothko, Henri Matisse, Georgia O’Keeffe, Agnes Martin, and Paul Klee.

This isn’t the first time RM has shaken up the art world. In 2020, he was named ‘Art Sponsor of the Year’ by the Arts Council Korea for supporting local exhibitions.

A year later, his $71,530 donation helped restore a royal hwarot robe from the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910) at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

This collaboration further highlights RM’s growing influence in the global art scene.

“We live in an age defined by boundaries. This exhibition at SFMoMA reflects those boundaries, between East and West, Korea and America, the modern and the contemporary, the personal and the universal,” said RM.
