Start with the official venue list
The biennale is spread across Jeju. Confirm each exhibition site and its opening hours before setting out.
Watch Monday closures
Most venues close on Mondays, with adjusted closures when a public holiday falls on Monday.
Allow travel time
Partner venues are not all within walking distance. Group stops by area instead of trying to cross the island in one day.
