The museum welcomes visitors every Tuesday to Friday from 11:00 AM to 7:30 PM, and on Saturdays and Sundays until 8:30 PM. Note that ticket sales and admission close earlier on weekdays at 6:00 PM and on weekends at 7:00 PM.

1. Best Photo and Video Spots
As someone who finds joy in capturing scenic views, I was captivated by the myriad of picturesque spots throughout the art museum. The 3D art adds an extra layer of wonder to each snapshot.
My personal favorite was the Circle of Seasons, where I felt transported amidst a sea of cherry blossoms, reminiscent of South Korea. While cherry blossoms may not be originally from Korea, they hold a special place in my heart, evoking my desire to visit South Korea as my favorite country destination. Sharing with you the video below which my friend captured beautifully. Also, a photo that I felt so loved because of the heart-shaped background.
Another highlight was The Stage, offering ample seating and excellent lighting for striking photos. My friend and I spent a considerable amount of time here, capturing memories to cherish as shown below, while resting since this spot was one of the areas best to rest.

It offers the perfect backdrop for creating lasting memories with your loved ones. Also, beyond snapping photos, take the time to appreciate the stories behind each artwork.

Of course, it can’t be denied that after exploring the museum, you may find yourself in need of rest and refreshment.
