    • Save both the museum pin and a return waypoint at Seoul Grand Park before entering the galleries.
    • Check each exhibition's photography notice; flash, tripods or recording can be restricted even when personal photographs are allowed elsewhere.
    • Combine the museum with only one park stop unless you have confirmed the internal transport and closing times.
    • Search “국립현대미술관 과천” in Naver Map or Kakao Map before departure.
    • Recheck current hours, closures, tickets and transport with the operator on the day.
    • The pin uses an audited official destination coordinate; still select the correct gate or entrance for the final walking route.
