National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Deoksugung

Cute and interesting museum with the history of the embroidery tradition from ancient times till nowadays. The museum is small, but very well organized. The art pieces are so unique that they look like good painting from a distance, however as you approach the art pieces you can recognize the single stitches that are made so precisely and accurately that there is no limit for admiration. The entrance is free. You can take pictures, videos are not allowed. I would recommend to visit during the week, on weekends can be overcrowded. After the museum you can sit in the stairs and enjoy a beautiful view on the magnificent architecture of the ancient temples and of the modern skyscrapers.

Modern and contemporary embroidery exhibitions are fantastic. When I visited during the day on a weekday, I felt like I was back in Korea.

Absolutely beautiful exhibition when I was here - beautiful grounds lovely building perfect morning out

Amazing exposition of Korean History of embroidery - very unique and beautiful

Very bad service…. Here is why👇 - Discrimination, - Height-discrimination, - Age discrimination Price for entry: 25 and over -> 2000 Korean Won Kids under 24 -> free Explanation👇🏿 So we walked in and we were about to buy our ticket for entry, and then we stumbled into this lady with black hair (Korean-looking) we wanted to buy 2 ticket for my parents and get two free tickets for me and my brother. The lady (Korean-looking) asked for out ID, and if we didn’t she said we were the age of 25!!! I showed my ID, and my little brother didn’t have ID with him. So she said to my brother that he was 25?!?!? My little, the age of 13… 25 years????!?!? How is that he even possible??? This is not okay👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿 bad place for (Korean-looking) girl in the ticket-counter

Over all a very good experience to get to know about the connection between the modern and the old culture of korea. Entry fee for adults are 3000 won for the museum and another 10000 won for the palace. It's worth spending time there. It was not so crowded because of the winter climate

There is Chang Ucchin’s exhibition today, and entrance is free. I really enjoyed indulging his paintings. One of the pioneers of the modern art of South Korea.

I really enjoyed the musuem. There was a lot of things I saw and the museum was well structured to show both the Korean culture's traditional and modern side. Overall, the price was great. The museum is in the Deoksu Palace / 덕수궁 grounds which was just 1,000 KRW. Though the musuem was small it was made up with the palace grounds. During the COVID times you have to make an reservation to the museum but if they have space they can squeeze you in to see the museums. If you are in Korea and happen to make a trip to that palace, it is worth seeing the museum! Some pictures (there was an exhibit going on, so it could be different when you go) of the museum and the grounds!
