2026 Mysterious Autumn Night at the Namhae Mask Museum: Times, Lineup, Activities Before Going with Kids
In the yard of a museum full of masks,
an autumn night stage opens 🎃
“Mysterious Autumn Night at the Mask & Performance Museum” (탈공연박물관의 수상한 가을 밤)
takes place on October 16 (Fri) from 19:00 to 20:30
in the outdoor park of the Namhae Mask & Performance Museum
in Idong-myeon, Namhae.
I’ve summarized Namhae-gun’s press release (September 29)
and the county’s event schedule page.
🎪 About the Event
Marking Gyeongnam Arts Week (GAW)
and October’s “Culture Month,“
Gyeongsangnam-do and Namhae-gun are hosting
an evening of performances and hands-on activities.
The cost listed on Namhae-gun’s event schedule is
free.
Namhae-gun says the activities were planned so that
family visitors, including children,
can enjoy them together.
The county also said it hopes the event at the Mask Museum,
a local cultural venue, will bring arts and culture
closer to residents’ everyday lives.
🎤 Who’s Performing?
There are three acts.
Namhae-gun says the stage focuses on familiar music
that people of all ages
can enjoy comfortably.
| Performer | Introduction (Namhae-gun) |
|---|---|
| Noel (Kang Kyun-sung · Lee Sang-gon) | Ballad group |
| Han Ah-reum | Trot singer |
| Lee Jae-won | Busker (the poster says indie singer) |
The order and times of each act
are not in the official information yet.
🎭 What Activities Are There?
Alongside the performances,
activities and events run around the venue.
| Activity · Event | Notes |

| Candy basket giveaway | Event listed on the schedule page and poster |
| Tarot cards · Caricatures | Hands-on program |
| Face painting | Hands-on program |
| Halloween photo zone | Set up at the venue |
Start times and the number of participants

🚗 Getting There & Parking
This is taken from the museum information
on Namhae-gun’s culture and tourism website.
| Item | Details |

| Address | 2412 Namhae-daero, Idong-myeon, Namhae-gun, Gyeongnam |
| Museum parking | 34 spaces (4 large, 30 small) |
| Event inquiries | Namhae-gun Culture & Sports Division, Culture & Arts Team 055-860-8623 |
Temporary parking, shuttles or public transport information
for the event day is not in the official information.
👨👩👧 If You’re Visiting with Kids
The venue, the Namhae International Mask & Performing Arts Museum,
is a museum made from a closed elementary school.
It began with performing arts materials donated by
Professor Kim Heung-woo, former dean of Dongguk University’s College of Arts,
and holds about 250,000 items,
including some 700 masks from around the world.
| Floor | What’s there (museum overview) |
|---|---|
| 1F | Dacho Experimental Theater · Performing Arts Library |
| 2F | Mask Exhibition Room (Korean and world masks) · Special Exhibition Room |
| Workshop room | Mask model making · Print mask stamping |
If you arrive early in the day,
you can see the exhibits before the autumn night event.
Here’s how the day lines up.
| Time | Friday the 16th |
|---|---|
| 09:00 to 18:00 | Museum viewing hours (17:00 in winter; separate admission) |
| 19:00 | Autumn night event begins — performances, activities, photo zone |
| 20:30 | Event ends (per Namhae-gun’s event schedule) |
| Museum admission (individual) | Fee |
|---|---|
| Adults (19~64) | 2,000 won |
| Youth · Military (13~18) | 1,500 won |
| Children (7~12) | 1,000 won |
The museum workshop’s foam clay and wood art activities
are listed at 3,000 won each.
Since this is an evening event in an outdoor park,
bring an extra layer for the kids.
but museum viewing hours end before that.
To see the mask exhibits too,
stop by earlier in the day.
