What the 2026 Jeju Biennale is
The Jeju Biennale (제주비엔날레) 2026 is an art event featuring 69 participating artists and teams, with Jeju artists accounting for approximately 30 percent of the lineup. Under the official theme Heokkeugok Modakchigok Iyahong: The Art of Transmutation (허끄곡 모닥치곡 이야홍: 변용의 기술), the exhibition examines how elements of Jeju’s memory—including migration, exile, stone culture, and mythology—are transformed through contemporary art.
2026 Jeju Biennale dates and venues
The exhibition runs for 83 days, from August 25, 2026, to November 15, 2026. Rather than being housed in a single facility, works are presented across five venues divided into three geographical zones:
- Jeju Provincial Art Museum (제주도립미술관): Located at 제주시 1100로 2894-78. This serves as the primary paid exhibition venue where visitors can understand the overarching theme and artist selection.
- Jeju Stone Culture Park (제주돌문화공원): Located at 제주시 조천읍 남조로 2023 in Jocheon-eup on the eastern side of the island. The venue includes Obaekjanggun Gallery (오백장군갤러리).
- Jeju Old Downtown (제주 원도심): Three separate venues located within walking distance of each other:
- Jeju Art Platform (제주아트플랫폼): 제주시 중앙로14길 18
- Art Space Ia (예술공간 이아): 제주시 중앙로14길 21
- Gallery Remicon (갤러리 레미콘): 제주시 산지로 31
Admission and tickets
Ticket pricing and entry conditions vary by venue:
- Jeju Provincial Art Museum: Regular general adult tickets are KRW 8,000. An early bird rate was announced at KRW 4,000 for limited quantities, subject to early closure. Availability must be checked directly on the reservation page.
- Other venues: Entry to the biennale venues outside the Jeju Provincial Art Museum is free.
- Jeju Stone Culture Park entry requirement: Presenting an official biennale ticket (paper or mobile) is required for free admission to the park during the exhibition period.
Conditions for age discounts, groups, and preferential admissions must be confirmed through the latest booking system notices.
Venue routes and transportation
Because the spaces are spread out across the island, covering all five locations in a single day is difficult. Recommended itineraries include:
- Museum-focused course (one day): Start at the Jeju Provincial Art Museum to take in the main themes, then move into the three Jeju Old Downtown venues. If the museum visit takes longer than planned, prioritize specific downtown venues.
- Eastern route course (one day): Spend dedicated time at Jeju Stone Culture Park, then connect to the Jeju Old Downtown spaces. Combining the stone park and the art museum on the same day involves significant travel time.
- Two-day course: Visit the Jeju Provincial Art Museum and the Jeju Old Downtown on the first day, and allocate the second day to Jeju Stone Culture Park.
Parking and local transport details by venue:
- Jeju Provincial Art Museum: Public parking and bus transit route details are provided in the official guidance.
- Jeju Art Platform: Features an underground parking lot with 46 spaces.
- Art Space Ia: Offers a dedicated parking lot at the rear.
- Gallery Remicon: Paid parking is available opposite the space at Buksugu Public Parking Lot (북수구 공영주차장). Visitors to the downtown area are advised to park once and travel between spaces on foot.
What to know before you go
- Operating hours and closures: As multiple institutions manage the venues, individual opening hours and final admission cutoffs vary. Official notices cite a standard Monday closure, though exceptions may arise due to public holidays or institutional needs.
- Last admission: The admission deadline may be earlier than the final closing time, especially when planning late afternoon visits.
- Check official notices: Parking regulations, operating schedules, and remaining ticket counts can change, so verify official announcements before departure.
