Special Exhibition Commemorating the 30th Anniversary of Dueam Kim Yong-du's Donation: 'My Life Museum'

두암 김용두 기증 30년 기념 특별전 &#039;나의 인생 박물관&#039;

In 1997, the collection of Kim Yong-du, a Korean resident in Japan, was first donated to the National Jinju Museum. This special exhibition marks 30 years of that generous gift and explores how cultural artifacts collected by one individual become shared heritage for all through the act of donation. The exhibition traces the formation, presentation, and evolution of this remarkable collection while highlighting its historical significance and future value.

🎟️ How to book — Official museum site

1
Check opening hours on the museum's official site
Many Korean national museums close one day a week, often Mondays — worth checking before you make the trip.
2
Book a time slot for the most popular exhibitions
The most anticipated temporary exhibitions sometimes limit access to online time-slot reservations, especially on weekends.
3
Permanent collections are often free
Only certain special or temporary exhibitions charge admission — the permanent collection itself is free to enter at most national museums.
4
Book ahead for groups or guided tours
School groups and guided tours generally need to be booked directly with the museum ahead of the visit.
