The National Museum of Korea is selling discounted early bird tickets for a special exhibition of modern and contemporary European art opening in November. The tickets are purchased by designating a specific viewing session during the early stages of the opening, and the ticket price is 12,000 won.

The National Museum of Korea announced that it is selling early bird tickets for "The Birth of Modern Art – Special Exhibition of the Kunsthaus Zürich Collection," held jointly with Kunsthaus Zürich in Switzerland.

The early bird tickets are 12,000 won regardless of age, which is 40% cheaper than the adult regular price of 20,000 won and approximately 33% cheaper than the youth regular price of 18,000 won. They must be purchased by designating a date and time between November 27 and December 17, and a maximum of 4 tickets can be purchased per person. Tickets are sold in limited quantities for each 30-minute session and may sell out early.

This exhibition marks the first time the Kunsthaus Zürich collection will be unveiled in Korea. Through 85 works produced over approximately 200 years from the 1760s to the 1950s, the exhibition examines the formation and development process of European modern art. Covering major art movements from Impressionism to Surrealism, it introduces the works of artists who sought new art by breaking away from traditional modes of expression.

The exhibition includes works by Swiss artists such as Paul Klee, Sophie Taeuber-Arp, and Alberto Giacometti, as well as major European artists including Auguste Rodin, Claude Monet, Paul Cézanne, Pablo Picasso, Edvard Munch, Wassily Kandinsky, Salvador Dalí, and René Magritte. It will also showcase works by the Swiss painter Ferdinand Hodler and works related to Dadaism, which began in Zurich during World War I.

Information regarding the sale and reservation of early bird tickets can be found on the National Museum of Korea website.
