How tools shape writing
The National Hangeul Museum's 'Senses of Writing: Tools & Perception' Gimhae tour runs April 4–November 1, 2026 in Gallery 3 of Gimhae Municipal Kim Young-won Art Museum. Developed with the local museum for its opening, the exhibition asks how tools change both the act of writing and our sensory experience of letters.
Works to seek out
The official exhibition description features 23 groups of artists and designers, ranging from pencils to artificial intelligence (AI), and spanning graphic design, crafts, products, spatial work, media art and installation. Individual works listed include 'Escape from the Square' by Kim Cho-yeop, 'Dictionary of Traces' by Kim Young-geul, 'Writing, Drawing and Thinking' by BKID, Park Je-seong's media-art 'Kerning', and Jeong Mun-gi's sound work 'Quotations as Music'. The translated work names are explanatory, not necessarily the exhibition's official English titles.
Planning your visit
Sunday, November 1, is the scheduled final day. The exhibition is in Gimhae, not in the National Hangeul Museum building in Seoul, which is closed for construction. The official exhibition detail does not establish admission charges, daily gallery hours or whether advance reservations are needed. Check the local museum's current operating notices before travelling. For exhibition enquiries, the National Hangeul Museum lists 02-2124-6335.
