Heads-up

The museum closes on Mondays, January 1, and the day of Seollal (설) and Chuseok (추석), as of October 2026. Sources differ on whether it also closes for the rest of the Seollal and Chuseok holidays. Call 02-2148-4171 (+82-2-2148-4171 from abroad) to ask.

Up to 15 people can be inside the house at one time. Visitors go in by turn, so you may need to wait.

Rain or snow makes the ground slippery, so entry to the outdoor hill may be limited.

Getting in

House rules: Take off your shoes before you go into the rooms. Photos are not allowed in the museum.
Parking: The museum has no parking lot, so plan to come by public transport.
Route: The museum's directions start from Gyeongbokgung Station Exit 2. This exit has no street elevator. For the elevator exit, see Getting there. The museum is down an alley, but several signs mark the entrance.
Bus: Take village bus Jongno 09 to the Park No-soo Art Museum (박노수미술관) stop. Regular buses stop a 10- to 12-minute walk away.

Inside

Stairs: Use the stairs inside the house to reach the second floor. It has media works and, in the attic, a video about the house.
Rooms: The house has eight exhibition rooms, four on each floor. The rooms are small and the floors are wood. The museum says it preserves the house as it was lived in, with only the minimum additions needed to run it.
Seating: You can sit in the attic to watch the video, which is upstairs. There is also a bench on the low hill behind the house, up stone steps.
