Incheon Metropolitan City is promoting “Museum Renaissance Incheon,” which will support free museum and art gallery visits for a total of 950 local residents this year.
“Museum Renaissance Incheon” is an initiative supported by the Incheon Museum Association. This project aims to provide cultural experiences to elderly, people with disabilities, children and the general public who face difficulties visiting museums due to lacking accessibility and information.

In particular, “Museum Renaissance Incheon” aims to ensure that all Incheon citizens, without exception, have the opportunity to enjoy culture. Launched in 2023, this is the second year of the initiative.
Any organization or group interested in participating can contact the Incheon Metropolitan Welfare Council and the Incheon Museum Association for more information.
