The official visitor page lists gallery hours 10:00–18:00, last entry 17:30, but says the museum garden is open 08:00–20:00. General exhibition admission is free, though some special shows may charge. The Children's Museum operates 10:00–17:00 and requires an online reservation. Visitors may borrow strollers or wheelchairs free of charge via the information desk on 062-570-7050. The garden's posted hours do not mean every indoor room is open during that period. Food is restricted inside galleries, and pets except guide dogs are not allowed. Recheck monthly closure notices and any outdoor restrictions before visiting.
