Looking for an interactive art exhibit in Korea that lets you step inside the artwork instead of just staring at a wall? Across the country, immersive digital museums and playful public installations invite you to touch, move, and even become part of the art yourself. This guide highlights the most current interactive art experiences in Korea in 2026.
Immersive Digital Gallery – National Museum of Korea
The Immersive Digital Gallery at the National Museum of Korea turns Korean heritage into a large‑scale digital experience using projections, sound, and media art.

It is a strong option if you want something that feels both cutting‑edge and clearly rooted in Korean history and culture.

Heyri Art Valley (헤이리 문화예술마을)
Heyri Art Valley is known as the original and still one of the best “Alive (TrickEye) Museum” locations out there. It now boasts several trick-art experiences, including trick-art murals found all around the grounds. However, that’s hardly the end of what Heyri has to offer.
Heyri Art Valley is the host of around 40 small museums, each featuring a unique collection of photography, painting, sculptures and more. While you usually can’t touch the art in these museums, guests are welcome to touch, climb into, and swing on sculptures outside the museums. Some museums even offer lessons. This place has aesthetic down to its architecture and landscaping! You’ll really feel like you’ve stepped into a living painting after visiting the valley.

Yobosayo Sculpture (여보세요)
Given the name Yobosayo, which is the Korean word for “hello” when answering a call, this sculpture works quite like a telephone. Passerbys can whisper into the giant ear their thoughts, stories, and proposals. The recording system within the sculpture plays the messages moments later for occupants of the Seoul Citizen Hall to hear. The popular messages are preserved in a “smart-playlist” while the less popular messages, based on listenership, are converted into music.
While it’s not located in a museum or art hub of Korea, Yobosayo, also known as “The Big Ear”, has gained recognition in the art world for changing how spectators experience art. It has redefined the term “to give art meaning”. Visit Yobosayo and make your voice heard through this communicative sculpture.
Location: 110 Sejongdae-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul (04524) | 전화번호 02)120;
Hours: Daily, 10:00 – 21:00
