A museum with its backstage on view
Most galleries keep their storage rooms behind closed doors. MMCA Cheongju takes a different approach, allowing visitors to discover open and visible storage spaces across floors 1–4. Look beyond the art objects to the ways a museum protects and organizes them.
Where should you begin?
The open-storage sections offer a chance to think about conservation and collection care. The fifth floor houses special exhibitions, which should not be confused with the free storage floors. The museum lists free entry for floors 1–4 and a standard KRW 2,000 ticket for the fifth floor. Access to conservation-related spaces follows additional rules and schedules.
