Heads-up

The museum is closed on January 1, Seollal (Lunar New Year) and Chuseok.

The wheelchairs available on the day can be fewer than the total. If you need one, contact the museum before you visit.

Getting in

Ramp
The front gate has 4 steps up to the doors. To avoid them, use the ramp on your right as you face the gate. The ramp approach is long, gentle and wide, with handrails and no steps.
Entrance
The main entrance is wide, with no step or slope, so you can enter by wheelchair on your own. In a COVID-era photo, the entrance appears to have an automatic sliding door and the exit a manual pull door. The doors may have changed since then.
Tickets and help
Wheelchair users get priority when buying tickets, though the ticket desk can be a little hard to reach. The information desk may be high and a little hard to use by wheelchair. A kiosk at the entrance offers guidance by disability type and age and appears usable from a seated position.
Parking
Accessible spaces are on B2 (9) and B3 (5). Vehicles with more than 15 seats must use the Gyeongbokgung parking lot. The green elevator behind the Terarosa cafe serves both parking floors.
Route
From Anguk Station Exit 1, allow about 13–20 minutes on foot or by wheelchair. This is not the station's elevator exit. From Gyeongbokgung Station Exit 4, allow about 16–25 minutes and cross the road twice.

Inside

Getting around
You can reach all areas of the museum by wheelchair. For the B1 galleries, take the silver elevator behind the Terarosa cafe on 1F.
Toilets
Accessible toilets for men and women are on 1F, diagonally across from the information desk. They have automatic doors, handrails and a help bell. Wheelchair users can manage the accessible toilets alone.
Wheelchairs
You can get a wheelchair at the coat room desk on 1F, which has 2 manual and 1 electric. Sources differ on the number and the desk. Call +82-2-3701-9500 (02-3701-9500 in Korea) or email mmca@korea.kr to ask.
