Jeonju National Museum Monday Rules: Main Galleries Open, Kids' Museum Differs
Main galleries generally open on Mondays, but the children's museum closes every third Monday and for inspections.
The main galleries of Jeonju National Museum have normally opened on Mondays since 2017, unlike many Korean museums. Permanent galleries are free from 10:00 to 18:00, last entry 17:30 (certain special exhibitions may charge). The children's museum has separate rules: it closes on the third Monday each month, plus New Year's Day and Lunar New Year/Chuseok days, with additional closures when necessary. Children's galleries run 10:00–17:30 but are inaccessible during inspection breaks 12:00–13:00 and 15:00–15:30. Individuals may enter freely, while groups need advance booking. The main and children's museums have also separately announced an exceptional closure on 14 December 2026 for facility checks. Review both calendars before travel.
