The National Palace Museum of Korea presents Korean royal-court and imperial heritage with free museum admission. On Monday–Friday and Sunday it opens 09:30–17:30, last entry 17:00. On Saturdays, hours extend to 09:30–21:00 with last entry at 20:30, and it also opens until 21:00 on the final Wednesday each month. Its regular closure is the last Monday of each month, as well as 1 January, Lunar New Year's Day (17 February 2026) and Chuseok Day (25 September 2026). If that final Monday is a public holiday, the closure moves to the day after the holiday ends. The museum's free entry should not be confused with separate Gyeongbokgung Palace ticket conditions.
