From October, weekend visits are not booked here. On Saturdays and Sundays, register at the kiosks at the Permanent Exhibition entrance on 3F (they have an English option). Registration for each session opens 3 hours before it starts. Choose a 20-minute guided tour (10:00, 11:00, 13:00, 14:00, 15:00 or 16:00; meet in front of ArtBot 5 minutes before it starts) or a self-guided visit (hourly sessions between 09:30 and 17:30). Mini talks inside are open to everyone who has entered: SPOT at 20 minutes past each hour and Alice at 50 minutes past. You cannot enter after your session has started or come back in once you have left, and preschool children must be with an adult. Weekday tours are still booked online here.
Free English-language docent tours run every Wednesday: Permanent Exhibition at 15:40. Advance reservation is required; use the booking form on this site.
Because National Foundation Day falls on a Saturday, Monday 5 October is a substitute public holiday: the museum opens as normal that day (guided tours included) and closes on Tuesday 6 October instead.
From September to December 2026 the museum stays open until 20:00 on Wednesdays. The Robot & AI Garden on 1F is open for self-guided viewing with an audio guide, and there is hands-on UGOT driving at 18:10 and 19:10 (first come, first served). There is no late opening on the last Wednesday of the month.
Every Friday and Saturday from 28 August to 5 December 2026 the building facade becomes a screen, with the show running continuously from 18:00 to 20:00. There is also a 20–30-minute talk on 1F: four sessions a night, each with 25 places, between 19:30 and 21:30 in October and between 18:30 and 20:30 in November and December. The talk is booked through Ticketlink, not on this site or through the museum's Korean booking system; tickets have been on sale since 1 September. If you drive, note that cars cannot leave the car park after 22:00, so please take yours out before 21:50.
There is a charge for the car park under the building (KRW 400 per 5 minutes, KRW 28,000 a day) and its 98 spaces are shared with the neighbouring photo museum, so it fills up. We strongly recommend arriving by subway: Line 1 or 4 to Chang-dong Station, Exit 1, then a 5-minute walk.
