Book the children's gallery separately
Gimhae National Museum explores the history and culture of Gaya. Its regular permanent exhibitions are listed as free in VISITKOREA, but the children's museum is a separately reserved session-based gallery. Arriving at the main museum does not guarantee entry to a children's session.
Three things to check before travelling
First, choose your preferred slot on the official museum booking page and confirm that enough spaces remain. A February 13, 2026 announcement raised the per-session limit from 50 to 60. Do not rely on an older page still quoting 50.
Second, VISITKOREA lists children's gallery hours of 10:00–17:50, a 12:00–13:00 preparation break, and entry at 20 minutes past each hour. It lists the main permanent galleries separately at 09:00–18:00. Treat these as published guidance and check the operator's live reservation page for the actual session timetable and remaining seats.
Third, a family gallery ticket may not include separately organised group education or workshops. Some special exhibitions may have extra charges, unlike the permanent galleries.
Address and last checks
The museum is at 190 Gaya-ui-gil, Gimhae-si, Gyeongsangnam-do. Check museum closures, children's session times, cancellation rules and accompanying-visitor requirements on official pages. The 2026 capacity notice contains a weekday-label discrepancy for its effective date, so this guide deliberately does not repeat that weekday. Main telephone: 055-320-6800.
