Why it matters now

The museum lists its 22nd Jewelry Cultural Product Competition exhibition for October 22–December 6, 2026. Regular hours are 10:00–18:00, with ticket sales until 17:00. The museum's current Korean and English admission pages expressly state that admission is FREE on the last Wednesday of each month ('Culture Day'), contrary to an earlier incorrect discounted-rate claim.
