The Gwangju Museum of Art lists regular visiting hours as 10:00–18:00 on its official website, including most weekends and holidays, and states that general admission is free. Special exhibitions may charge separately; check the exact show rather than assuming all displays cost nothing. The museum closes on Mondays, January 1, Lunar New Year's Day and Chuseok Day, and may close temporarily during exhibition changeovers. The main institution is at 52 Haseo-ro, Buk-gu, Gwangju. Some exhibitions are housed in related venues rather than the principal building, so double-check the location and dates of the particular show.
