During the event, artworks will be exhibited and sold on each floor, including the Open Plaza on the 1st floor and the Topaz Hall on the 10th floor. The Open Plaza on the 1st floor will showcase works by domestic and international artists such as David Hockney and Yoshitomo Nara, while various artworks including sculptures, bike drawings, and installations will be displayed on each floor.

In particular, the special exhibition hall set up in the Topaz Hall on the 10th floor will present about 85 works by domestic and international artists such as Kim Whanki and Lee Ufan.

A "Mobile Docent Service" will also be operated. This service will be available from the 13th on the Pangyo Art Museum's dedicated website, providing explanations of the artworks and 360-degree videos.
