Seoul Museum of Art — Seosomun Main Branch
In the historic Jeong-dong district next to Deoksugung, SeMA's Seosomun branch combines modern and contemporary exhibitions, a former Supreme Court facade, cafe and outdoor sculpture space. General entry is free, with exceptions for special exhibitions.
As of October 9, 2026, the museum lists Yoo Youngkuk: A Mountain Within Me until October 25, and its GanaArt collection display until November 22. Multilingual docent events are listed October 16 (English), 20 (Chinese), 21 (Japanese), 22 (French) and 24 (Indonesian); booking and capacity were not checked. October 9 is a public holiday: verify holiday hours rather than automatically assuming the Friday evening extension.
