Why it matters now

The operator has announced a temporary closure of its first-floor upcycling exhibition from October 26 to November 1, 2026, while preparing the next display. This does not establish a whole-building closure; reconfirm the planned reopening from November 2. The separate K-UP pop-up at DDP is a different site.

Why go

Learn how discarded materials can be reused through design and making. Check the requirements of each visit or workshop; Saturdays are not unrestricted walk-in days and require a reserved tour.
