This branch of the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art sits between the Gyeongbokgung wall and the Samcheong-dong lane. Low buildings wrap an open yard that doubles as a sitting spot on a Samcheong–Bukchon walk. The programme is mostly special exhibitions, so the mood changes a lot by season. Wednesday and Saturday are listed with late evening hours. Admission varies by show, so check the official page.
