Seoul's 2026 Art Museums for Group Agents

The short answer

Seoul gained two art museums in 2026. The Centre Pompidou Hanwha opened on 4 June in the 63 Building on Yeouido, and the Park Seo-Bo Museum opened in Yeonhui-dong on 21 August. Explera DMC adds both to art and culture days for groups, after confirming each museum's group rules for the date.

Agencies selling culture programmes in Korea now have two new museums to offer in Seoul. Our Korea team covers them in its note on Seoul's new art museums; this page is the short version for agencies selling Korea alongside our other destinations.

What Is the Centre Pompidou Hanwha?

A partnership museum run by the Hanwha Foundation of Culture with the Centre Pompidou in Paris.
Opened on 4 June 2026, the year of the 140th anniversary of diplomatic relations between France and Korea.
In the 63 Building on Yeouido, in a space redesigned by the architects Wilmotte & Associés.
Exhibitions drawn from the Paris collection, which change over time.

In Yeonhui-dong, a quiet residential area, next to the artist's former home and studio.

How Do the Two Museums Fit a Group Day?

Yeouido is coach-friendly. The Centre Pompidou Hanwha pairs well with a Han River stop on the same day.
Yeonhui-dong suits smaller groups. The coach sets down nearby and the group walks in.
Group rules come first. We check group booking, guiding and photography rules with each museum before a visit goes into the programme.
