    3. Visit flow

    1. 01
      Before travel

      Use the current two-building museum name

      The official complex combines Daebul Hotel Exhibition Hall at number 101 and the Life History Exhibition Hall at number 97 on the same street.

    2. 02
      9:00 AM-5:30 PM entry

      Enter before the final-admission cutoff

      The current official guide lists Tuesday-Sunday 9:00 AM-6:00 PM with final admission at 5:30 PM.

    3. 03
      Before a Monday or holiday visit

      Apply the substitute-closure rule

      The halls close Mondays, or the following day when Monday is a holiday, plus January 1 and Lunar New Year and Chuseok day.

    4. Traveler tips

    • Allow time for both buildings instead of treating the first red-brick entrance as the entire museum.
    • Begin before 5:30 PM; final admission is earlier than closing and a two-building visit needs more than a last-minute entry.
    • Check the foundation notice around public holidays because a Monday holiday moves the closure to the following day.
    • Search “인천 대불호텔전시관 생활사전시관” in Naver Map or Kakao Map and confirm the exact entrance and return route.
    • Hours, admission, closures and programme schedules can change; use the official source before departure.
    • The catalogue coordinate is an approximate centre pin, not turn-by-turn entrance guidance.
