Frieze Week Seoul 2026: what is on beyond the fair
Frieze Seoul fills COEX in early September, alongside Kiaf SEOUL — but most of the week happens in the gallery districts: Hannam, Cheongdam, Samcheong. This page lists both what is on now and what opens in time for the fair, gallery by gallery. It is rebuilt every week, so it stays true through the late-August wave of openings.

Before you set out
Use Naver Map, not Google Maps. Google Maps gives no walking or driving directions in Korea. Every venue below links to Naver Map, which works in English.
Mondays are dark. Most galleries close on Monday; several museums close on Tuesday instead.
During fair week many galleries stay open late for openings, and hours move around. The official gallery nights are mapped out in our Art Week gallery-night guide (Aug 31–Sep 3) — late hours, receptions and a shareable route planner.
Hannam & Itaewon (31 venues · 10 with a show on now)
Blue-chip galleries and museums, most within a 15-minute walk of each other.
