Seoul National University is located off the green line in Seoul.
Transportation
Bus: 5511, 5512 (previously 413), 5513, 5516 and 5518 Subway: Seoul National University Station on Seoul Subway Line 2, Exit No. 3 (use school shuttle buses, city buses (5511–3) or taxicabs)
Of course you can't take pictures at an institution like this. A rule which does not serve the artists if you ask me. Unless it's an artist that makes money from publishing their art already which I'm sure are few. Obviously it comes down to money and someones worried that someone else will make some money.
It takes a little while to get to this museum because you have to take a bus to it even after you reach the subway station. Look for the bus stop where the students are going. Get off right after you enter through the main entrance. You'll see the building on your left across from a stadium. You can't miss it.
It's free to get in but be ware the snobbery level in high. 8 out of 10. It's worth it though. They have a nice collection. I really don't know who's who when it comes to Korean art but it's a big contemporary scene there. Lots of paintings. Most Korean paintings are OK. It's hard to put my finger on it. There are about 3 levels. There was some memorable video art. Go see.
