Gyeongju National Museum distinguishes 'gallery closure' from complete closure. Its official visitor page says indoor galleries close on the second Monday of March, June, September and December, but the gardens and outdoor exhibition areas operate normally. Do not assume indoor collections can be visited on those dates. In contrast, January 1, Lunar New Year's Day and Chuseok Day are full closure dates when outdoor exhibits cannot be visited either. Normal hours are 10 a.m.–6 p.m., with admission ending 30 minutes before closing. The museum also lists Saturday evening opening from 6–8 p.m. during March–October, effective March 1, 2026. Permanent galleries and the Children's Museum are free, with some paid special exhibitions excluded. If visiting on a quarterly Monday, recheck temporary restrictions on outside areas and the current museum notices.
