Why it matters now

November falls under the museum's published winter schedule (09:00–17:00), not the summer closing time of 18:00. Check the operator's latest notices for temporary closures before visiting.

Why go

Explore the museum and nearby Pilgyeongsa, the house Sim Hun designed and built in 1934. Discover the background to his 1935 novel Sangnoksu and the poem 'When That Day Comes'. Check access conditions for the museum and heritage house separately.
