Why it matters now

The ongoing twentieth-anniversary exhibition is announced for June 24–December 13, 2026. It offers a current route into an established culture, not a newly opened museum.

Why go

Read the cultural context alongside the linked Story. Operator guide: 09:00–18:00, ticketing until 17:00; regular Monday and named holiday closures. A September 23 notice also identifies October 6, 2026 as closed. Check dated notices for exceptions. The guide-reservation terms checked October 1 state that guided commentary is Korean only and requires application three days in advance. English/Japanese exhibition labels or audio guides and step-free routes remain unverified; no live-diving promise.
