source: visitbusan
If you are a fan of Doraemon, the adorable round-headed cartoon robot cat, why don’t you visit Yeongdo Island during the Chuseok holiday with your family or friends?
The “Doraemon in Busan” exhibition takes place at P.Ark on Yeongdo Island until Nov. 3.
First serialized in 1969, “Doraemon” revolves around an earless robotic cat named Doraemon, who travels back in time from the 22nd century to aid a boy named Nobita Nobi. The series spawned a media franchise and has produced over 40 animated films. In 2019, it became one of the best-selling manga series ever, with over 250 million copies sold worldwide. The character of Doraemon is viewed as a Japanese cultural icon and was appointed as the first "anime ambassador" in 2008 by Japan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The exhibition features different sections: The Art Photo Zone, Doraemon’s Four-Dimensional Pocket Zone and Doraemon’s Story Zone. Each zone offers memorable experiences to fans.
In addition, the Bamboo Helicopter Zone shows Doraemon flying above Busan’s greatest landmarks.
Special Busan-exclusive souvenirs are on sale.
The exhibition is open daily from 11 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., with the last admission at 7 p.m.
Tickets cost 18,000 won for adults and 15,000 won for minors. Tickets can be purchased onsite or online via Interpark.
