    • Read the gallery label before naming a mask's character, country or ritual use; the museum includes masks from many cultures.
    • Use available ramps and lift rather than carrying mobility equipment on stairs, and ask for help with the manual entrance door.
    • Search “하회세계탈박물관” in Naver Map or Kakao Map and confirm the entrance before leaving.
    • Opening hours, admission and closure days can change; use the official regional guide before departure.
    • The catalogue pin is approximate. Use the linked Korean map search for the final walking route.
