1. art after work: End the day with art

conceived as an “end of the day, recharge with art,” Art After Work is a nightly docent-led tour program designed for busy weekday workers who can’t make it to the museum. from 7:30 to 9 p.m., you can enjoy a leisurely tour of the exhibitions with in-depth explanations from Daelim Museum educators. take a load off your shoulders, drop by on your way home from work, and feel the comfort and inspiration of art.

2. people of the Museum: the stories behind the exhibits

what’s the sweat and hard work behind the scenes that makes a spectacular exhibition come to life? museum People is a behind-the-scenes look at the people who make museums happen, including exhibition curators, marketers, educators, and merchandisers. from the moment an exhibition is conceived to the moment it is welcomed by visitors, these stories will give you a deeper understanding and appreciation of the museum experience.

both programs are free of charge and can be booked in advance through the Daelim Museum of Art website. instead of the usual dinner plans, why not experience a night of art and stories at Daelim this week?
