Parking
The lot beside the main entrance had 2 accessible spaces as of December 2023. They are narrow and may be hard for wheelchair users. Buses and trucks cannot park here.
Parking fee
Parking costs 150 won per 5 minutes as of October 2026. Vehicles for people with disabilities park free for the first hour, then pay 80% less. Ask at the parking lot whether this covers you.
Route
Use Ichon Station Exit 2 or Seobinggo Station Exit 1 and head toward the National Hangeul Museum (국립한글박물관). Each takes about 10 minutes on foot; a wheelchair may take a different time.
