The National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMCA) will offer free admission to its exhibitions for 10 days, from September 1 to 10, in celebration of the “2025 Korea Art Festival.” This free viewing initiative is designed to expand public access to art and enhance opportunities for cultural enjoyment.
 
During the free admission period, visitors can explore exhibitions at all MMCA branches, including Seoul, Gwacheon, Deoksugung, and Cheongju. Please note that the Gwacheon, Deoksugung, and Cheongju branches are closed on Mondays, while the Seoul branch remains open every day without exception.

Meanwhile, starting September 1, the “2025 Korea Art Festival” will connect a variety of art events across the country. In collaboration with related organizations—including the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMCA), the Arts Council Korea, the Korea Craft & Design Foundation, the Korea Tourism Organization, and the Korea Railroad Corporation—the festival will offer discounted admission to major biennales and art fairs, as well as operate curated art travel programs.
 
In particular, the festival will spotlight emerging artists through 48 “must-see exhibitions” recommended by seven art experts, along with collaborative exhibitions and an international conference.
