[2025 Seoul Attraction] Travel Guide for National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Deoksugung (Updated Apr)

#koreatrip Visiting the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMCA) in Seoul was an amazing experience. It’s a great place to spend time and explore Korea’s rich artistic heritage. The museum showcases a diverse collection of contemporary and modern artworks, offering insight into Korea’s evolving art scene. From paintings and sculptures to multimedia installations, every exhibit tells a unique story. The museum’s layout is spacious and well-organized, making it easy to appreciate each piece. The blend of traditional influences with modern creativity was truly inspiring. It’s a must-visit for art lovers and anyone interested in discovering Korea’s history through its artistic expressions. The visit was both educational and enjoyable.

#CanadaFlightEvent #Seoul #ArtMuseum In addition to the Seoul branch of the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, there is an art museum in Deoksugung Palace. You have to pay an entrance fee to Deoksugung Palace, but it is not a burden at 1,000 won. It is definitely worth it. After enjoying Deoksugung Palace to the fullest, If you go to the place where the Seokjojeon is, you will see the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art. It is smaller than the Seoul branch, but the exhibitions are well organized, so you can go there after work without feeling burdened. If you are going after work, I recommend going on a day when it is open at night. I recommend enjoying the beautiful building and exhibitions.

#JanuaryTravelSupportEvent #koreatrip #FebruaryTravelSupportEvent Winter sunset at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Deoksugung Palace alone Yesterday (February 18th) at 4:30 PM, I visited the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Deoksugung Palace alone. The winter sunlight shining on the glass windows at the entrance of the modern museum next to Seokjojeon was dazzling! At around 4:50 PM, I was captivated by the charm of the coexistence of old paintings and modern art in front of the replica of ‘Inwangjesaekdo’ that I found in the exhibition room on the 2nd floor. The guide told me, “If you’re alone, the outdoor sculpture exhibition is good around 5:30 PM,” so I hurried over there. 📌 Essential information for solo travelers Night opening: Wednesdays and Saturdays, 6 PM - 9 PM (free admission) Hidden point: Enjoy the sparkling projection mapping from the hidden seats in the 1st floor media art room Discount information: 50% off admission fee when submitting a college student ID (2,000 won → 1,000 won) Photo zone: Iron chair in front of Nam June Paik's work in the outdoor garden → Stone Hall in the background At around 5 o'clock, I took a picture of the sunset reflecting on the museum hallway through the glass window with my phone camera. Despite the cold weather, I came out after seeing the exhibition until 5:20, and the security guard smiled and said, "Come back next Wednesday night!" 🚨 Notes Slippery stone steps in the outdoor exhibition hall (snow boots required) 1st floor cafe orders close at 5:50 PM No large bags allowed (free lockers available) 1 hour and 20 minutes to truly feel the "harmony of history and modernity"!
