The Busan Museum announced it will host a special Children’s Day event titled “Dreaming Kids, Let’s Play at the Museum!” on May 5, offering a variety of cultural programs designed to spark imagination and engagement with heritage in a fun and interactive way.

This year’s event is designed to provide children with opportunities to enjoy and experience cultural heritage in a joyful setting, fostering a sense of familiarity with museums and expanding their cultural imagination.

The event will take place throughout the museum grounds from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., featuring programs that the whole family can enjoy together — including film screenings, creative outdoor activities, and hands-on exhibits.

Key programs include:

• ●A screening of the animated film "Lovely Hatchuping"

• ●“Cultural Heritage Drawing Picnic”

• ●“Create Your Own Mirror” workshop

• ●Caricature and body painting experiences

• ●“Museum Life Photo Booth”

• ●Traditional ink rubbing (takbon) activity

• ●3D puzzle experience

The film "Lovely Hatchuping" (running time: 83 minutes) will be screened twice at 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. in the museum’s main auditorium. This screening is part of the 2025 Traveling Cinema Support Program by the Busan Cinema Center.

In the museum’s outdoor garden, children can enjoy creative programs such as the “Cultural Heritage Drawing Picnic,” caricature and body painting stations, and the “Create Your Own Mirror” craft area.

Inside the lobby of the main exhibition building, a “Museum Life Photo Booth” will be available to capture joyful moments, while the Cultural Experience Hall will offer activities like dry rubbings of historical engravings and 3D puzzle building — making history and culture approachable through play.

All programs, except the movie screening, are free and available on-site on a first-come, first-served basis. Some hands-on programs may close early if materials run out.

Reservations for the film "Lovely Hatchuping" must be made in advance through the Busan Museum website (museum.busan.go.kr/busan) starting at 10:00 a.m. on April 28. Each individual may reserve up to four tickets. Seating is assigned randomly, and child booster cushions are limited in number—visitors may bring their own if needed.
