Browsing both exhibitions in one day may be challenging for some. If so, visit the Different and Special exhibition first. The artists suffer from developmental disabilities. This exhibition was put together in part to change the public perception of disabled people. It will be a meaningful and heartwarming tour for you and your children. Family programs will be available at the Creative Education Hall on the first floor each weekend until October 7.◇ Using the phone in the image starts music that fits the surreal background. ⓒ Lee Song-hyeon◇ The piece reflects the artist’s pure subconscious world. ⓒ Lee Song-hyeon◇ The Creative Education Hall offers programs for children on weekends. ⓒ Park Dae-yeon
