Why make time for it

Let this be the main appointment of your evening. A meal in Seochon before entering makes more sense than trying to squeeze in another museum at the last minute.

The programme runs 2 September to 2 October 2026, Wednesday to Sunday, 19:00 to 21:30, with final entry at 20:30. General admission is KRW 3,000 and booking conditions apply. Use the official programme for ticket releases and eligibility. The Chuseok free daytime notice does not make this night programme free. The cover is an archival view of Gwanghwamun, not a photograph from this season.
