Seoul

Bukchon Cultural Center weekdays 09:00–18:00; MMCA Seoul Wednesdays 10:00–21:00.

Jeju

Haenyeo Museum 09:00–18:00, tickets until 17:00; plan a brief Sehwa coastal stop around the tide. Bulteok talk 15:00–16:00, free to watch.

Hanok and art in Seoul

In Seoul, begin at Bukchon Cultural Center, 37 Gyedong-gil, then visit MMCA Seoul, 30 Samcheong-ro. The center is open 09:00–18:00 on weekdays and the museum 10:00–21:00 on Wednesdays. Check booking and admission for the particular exhibition you choose.

Haenyeo culture and the coast in Jeju

In Jeju, learn about haenyeo culture at the museum in Gujwa, then make a short visit to Sehwa Beach. The museum opens 09:00–18:00 and ticket sales end at 17:00. It has announced a free-to-watch Bulteok talk for 28 October, 15:00–16:00. Sehwa is not a designated managed swimming beach; at high tide the sand can shrink, so viewing the coast from the road is another option.

Plan one regional outing

These are separate regional choices, not a single-day route between Seoul and Jeju. Choose Seoul for hanok and art, or Jeju for haenyeo culture and a brief coastal view.
