MMCA New Media Collection Special Exhibition «Nostalgia of Technology»

MMCA 뉴미디어 소장품 특별전 «기술의 노스탤지어»

This exhibition traces the evolution of video art from early works using cathode ray screens to contemporary creations interacting with artificial intelligence. Focusing on the unique materiality of these mediums—electronic signals, video temporality, digital editing, and generative algorithms—the exhibition examines how these technologies have expanded human perception from their origins to today. It invites visitors to rediscover past media as active agents of bodily memory while questioning the future of art in an era of rapid technological innovation.

🎟️ 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.
