What counts as an art gallery in Kaesŏng

A space that shows art to the public: commercial galleries, artist-run centres, public galleries. What doesn't count: the framed prints at the coffee shop, corporate lobbies, and shops that only sell art supplies. The bar is a real exhibition space with a real programme.

Kaesŏng sits about 38° north of the equator, so it gets proper seasons. Winter is gallery season in the best way: the big exhibitions open when everyone's indoors and looking for things to do, and opening nights are at their liveliest.

When galleries in Kaesŏng get mapped, they appear here with addresses and hours where recorded. Mapped means listed — no paid placement, no favourites.

Gallery smarts for Kaesŏng

No mapped galleries yet, but the gallery habits work anywhere. Four worth knowing:

• Buy the catalogue. Exhibition catalogues are the affordable art book. They sell out after the show closes.
• Follow the galleries online. Openings and one-night events get announced on social media first. One follow catches them all.
• The bookshop corner is curated. Gallery bookshops stock the art books the big stores don't. Worth ten minutes on the way out.
• Ask about the price list. It's normal to ask, even if you're not buying. It tells you how the market values the work.
