Masters of 20th Century Photography - Light Freezes Time
20세기 사진 거장전 - 빛, 시간을 멈추다
This exhibition showcases approximately 80 masterpieces from 17 renowned photographers—including Henri Cartier-Bresson, Tina Modotti, and William Klein—selected from Gallery Lumière's distinguished collection. Set against today's flood of disposable digital imagery, it celebrates the tangible depth and emotional resonance of traditional silver gelatin prints, where every subtle grain carries the physical imprint of the photographer's vision. The exhibition features video screenings, artist publications, and the sale of original prints, inviting visitors to pause and engage in deep contemplation of these luminous black-and-white photographs.

🎟️ How to book — Official event site
- 1
Most regional festivals are free entry
Korean municipalities fund a huge number of free festivals (flowers, food, light shows) — free entry is the norm, not the exception, sometimes with paid stalls or activities on site.
- 2
Check the event's official site
The link sits on the event's VisitKorea page — it's the most reliable source for the program, hours, and any last-minute changes.
- 3
Book via a Korean platform if a reservation is required
When a festival has paid premium activities or an attached concert, booking usually goes through NOL or YES24 — see the matching guide on this page.
- 4
Call 1330 when in doubt
Korea's tourism hotline answers in English, Chinese and Japanese, 24/7 — handy for confirming a time or address when the official site is Korean-only.
💡 Good to know
When a price shows as "see details", the organiser simply hasn't published one in advance: in almost all of those cases entry is free and only some on-site activities are paid. Bring a little cash — many stalls don't take cards.
