- Homepage: 09:00–18:00, last entry 17:00, closed Mondays, free. A legacy COVID closure statement remains on the visitor detail page; call +82-41-419-7000 to confirm current access. Food, pets other than assistance dogs, flash and tripods are restricted in galleries.
The current homepage lists free admission, 09:00–18:00 and Monday closures, but a separate visitor page still carries legacy COVID-related closure wording. The two displays conflict, so confirm actual opening by calling +82-41-419-7000 before travelling.
Why go
Learn the history of Yellow Sea excavations, seaborne exchange, ships and seafarers through underwater artifacts. The operator lists free entry, but a detailed visitor page retains an old closure warning; confirm current access by phone.
