The Busan Biennale will remain open during the Chuseok holiday. Visitors purchasing tickets for two or more can receive a discount of up to 25%, along with special holiday events such as a '1+1' art product promotion.
The Busan Biennale Organizing Committee announced on September 25 that the three exhibition venues for the '2026 Busan Biennale - Dissident Chorus' will operate normally until the last day of the holiday on the 27th. The venues include the Busan Museum of Contemporary Art, Space Wonji, and the former Busan Nam High School.
During the holiday period, visitors can purchase tickets for two or more at the Busan Museum of Contemporary Art and receive a discount of up to 25%. Adult tickets will be reduced from 16,000 won to 13,000 won, youth and military tickets from 8,000 won to 6,000 won, and children's tickets from 5,000 won to 4,000 won.
Special holiday gifts are also available. Visitors who purchase paid tickets on the same day at the Busan Museum of Contemporary Art will receive a Busan souvenir, 'Sea Sand,' in the quantity of their ticket purchase. This offer is limited to the first 100 people each day. Additionally, the Busan Biennale Art Shop is running a '1+1' promotion where customers can buy one fan or sticker and receive another for free, while supplies last.
Free exhibition tours will also be available during the holiday. No prior reservation is needed; participation is on a first-come, first-served basis, with each session lasting about one hour. The Busan Museum of Contemporary Art will offer six tours per day, while the former Busan Nam High School will have three. Space Wonji will allow visitors to explore freely without guided tours. A QR code available at the exhibition venues provides access to a multilingual audio guide.
A free shuttle bus will operate between the three exhibition venues, connecting the Busan Museum of Contemporary Art, Space Wonji, and the former Busan Nam High School. The last shuttle departs from the Busan Museum of Contemporary Art at 4:30 PM, but will only operate to Space Wonji, considering the closing times of the venues. Actual operating times may vary depending on traffic conditions during Chuseok.
The 2026 Busan Biennale, which opened on August 29, is open for viewing from 10 AM to 6 PM. The Busan Museum of Contemporary Art and the former Busan Nam High School will close ticket sales at 5 PM, while Space Wonji will close at 5:30 PM.
This year's Busan Biennale is directed by Evelyn Simons and Amal Khalaf, featuring the theme 'Dissident Chorus.' The exhibition explores the possibilities of communication, healing, and resistance through sound and vibration, showcasing 257 works by 46 teams (49 individuals) from 22 countries. The exhibition will run until November 1 across the three venues located in Eulsukdo and Yeongdo.
