Free Chuseok visits at MMCA Seoul
Three free-admission dates for the Seoul museum over Chuseok. Choose a show and collect a ticket before going into the galleries.
Activities Anguk & Samcheong
A contemporary art stop beside the palace, with enough space to make one exhibition the centre of your afternoon.
Choose an exhibition before arriving rather than treating every gallery as a checklist. The museum makes a useful counterpoint to the palace, and Anguk is close enough for a coffee before or after.
Seoul normally opens every day, with later hours on Wednesday and Saturday. Admission and reservations depend on the exhibition. The museum is closed on Chuseok day, 25 September 2026; its announced free-admission dates are 24, 26 and 27 September, when a ticket is still required. Check the exhibition page before booking.
