The grand finale of MMCA Seoul anniversary, named “lOgin Finale,” features three distinct segments. Kicking off in the MMCA Seoul, Jongno District, from 10 AM to 6 PM KST, guests can enjoy various activities including leave thoughts on a memory wall, snap photos at a complimentary booth, and enjoy classical piano renditions by the talented Chin Soo-young and Chon Yong-jun.

In addition, visitors can join one of two guided tours exploring the lesser-seen corners and the storied past of the MMCA Seoul. Outdoors, the museum will host Hula-Hoop contests for some playful competition.
