Daejeon Museum of Art

Getting around: In the Dunsan cultural district; take Daejeon Metro Line 1 to Government Complex-Daejeon Station and walk a few minutes.
Hours: Typically Tuesday-Sunday, 10am-6pm (later on Wednesdays), closed Mondays and January 1st.

Daejeon Museum of Art focuses on contemporary Korean and international art, with rotating exhibitions in a modern building within the Dunsan cultural complex alongside the Daejeon Municipal Museum and Hanbat Arboretum. It doesn't have the star power of Seoul's major art museums, but the changing exhibitions and manageable size make for a relaxed hour or two.

It's easily combined with the neighboring Hanbat Arboretum and Expo Park area for a cultural half-day in the Dunsan district.
