A major Seoul design and architecture landmark at 281 Eulji-ro, Jung-gu, with galleries, special events and public plazas. Visit Seoul lists general operating hours 10:00–20:00, varying by space. Check official details for closures, paid exhibitions and public-holiday operation. DDP Oullim Square hosts a free cultural event on October 9, 13:30–17:00.
