Seoul in 5 Days: A Mapped Itinerary

Jung · Dongdaemun · Museums and design

Check current visiting hours and closed days with the official source.

Activities and purchases may cost extra

Walk around the building to see its curved surfaces from different angles. Pair the exterior architecture with an exhibition if one interests you; indoor events are not all permanently available. Check the day’s programme separately for evening light displays.

Plan around the weather and the visiting programme.
