2026 Sejong and Nam June Special Exhibition Schedule & Activity Times, Before Visiting the Biennale Exhibition Hall with Kids

On Hangeul Day, King Sejong and Nam June Paik
meet in one exhibition hall 📺

The 2026 Hangeul Culture Special Exhibition ‘Sejong and Nam June’
will be held from October 9 (Fri) to November 8 (Sun)
at the Biennale Exhibition Hall in Sejong Central Park.
Admission is free.

Here’s a summary of the exhibition guide from the Sejong City Culture & Tourism Foundation (September 14)
and the activity program guide (September 29).

🎪 About the Exhibition

King Sejong, who created a script for his people,
and Nam June Paik, who pioneered the genre of video art.
This special exhibition connects two people who communicated with the world
through new languages and media.
The Hangeul Festival’s frequently asked questions introduce it as
’a special exhibition meeting two innovators across eras.’

The foundation describes this exhibition as
’a place where Hangeul and video art,
technology and culture meet.‘
It is the third Hangeul Culture Special Exhibition
leading up to the first Sejong Hangeul Biennale in 2027.

The National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, National Hangeul Museum,
Nam June Paik Art Center, and King Sejong Memorial Society
are all participating as partner organizations.

⏰ When and How Much?

Closed on Mondays: October 12, 19, 26,
and November 2.

🧸 Hangeul Toy Making on Weekends

On weekends and public holidays, behind Exhibition Hall 2,
there’s the ‘Tomorrow I Am Nam June: Hangeul Toy Making Activity’.

There are 11 activity days in total.

The guide illustration shows a robot made by stacking Hangeul letters.

🗺️ How the Stamp Tour Works

The foundation suggests enjoying the event by
seeing, collecting, making, and coloring.

🎉 During the Three Days of the Hangeul Festival

On October 9, 10, and 11,
the 2026 Sejong Hangeul Festival will also be held in the same park.
The festival leaflet introduces this exhibition as
’an event to enjoy together with the festival.’

On the festival map, the exhibition hall
is marked near Jangnamdeul Square in Central Park,
where the festival’s main information booth is also located.

During these three days, in the Eoullim Garden of Central Park,
the Sejong Science Jiphyeonjeon will offer science and drone experiences.

🚇 Directions & Parking

The exhibition hall is inside Sejong Central Park,
right across from Sejong Arts High School.

By Bus: From Sejong Express Intercity Bus Terminal,
take bus 203 or 205 and get off at Sejong Arts High School.
It’s about a 2-minute walk (same directions as for the Hangeul Festival).

There is no information about parking in the exhibition guide.

During the Hangeul Festival (October 9, 10, 11),
the festival organizers note that parking lots will be very crowded
and ask visitors to use public transportation.
The park will be pedestrian-only during the festival,
and bicycles and kickboards are not allowed inside.

👨‍👩‍👧 If You’re Visiting with Kids

Since each craft session is limited to 12 people,
it’s convenient to finish the stamp tour first
and then join a session at the right time.
Each session lasts 45 minutes,
with a 15-minute break before the next one.

On weekends, the exhibition tours (14:00, 16:00)
overlap with the craft sessions.
If you want to do both, plan your schedule in advance.

Coloring is available anytime,
so it’s a good activity while waiting for your session.

On weekdays, there’s no craft activity,
but you can enjoy the exhibition and the tours at 14:00 and 16:00.

The National Children’s Museum is a 3-minute walk
from Central Park (see Hangeul Festival guide).
