Cultural Experience Program at Busan Modern and Contemporary History Museum

내용

The Busan Modern and Contemporary History Museum (hereinafter referred to as "the Museum") announced that on May 31, it will operate a cultural experience program that simultaneously features hands-on activities and an outdoor music concert at the museum's outdoor yard, open to citizen participation.

Since March, the Museum has been running a commissioned project in cooperation with the Busan Tourism Organization to host monthly cultural programs on the last Saturday of each month, allowing citizens and visitors to enjoy cultural experiences together.

This month’s program is designed to break the boundary between history and daily life through performances, exhibitions, and hands-on content, enabling citizens to naturally encounter history in everyday settings.

On May 31 at 11:00 AM, a participatory event titled “Memory Store: Nostalgic Stationery Shop” will take place at the outdoor yard, featuring themed photo zones and on-site experience content. These photo zones will continue to be installed and operated in accordance with the monthly theme on the last Saturday of each month.

The Memory Store: Nostalgic Stationery Shop photo zone is an emotional content installation that recreates the nostalgic atmosphere of old school-area stationery stores. It offers a space that evokes childhood memories, allowing visitors of all ages to freely take photos and recall analog-style memories.

Additionally, various nostalgic experience programs such as capsule toy machines, character stationery draws, Korean slap-match games (ttakji), and traditional snacks like dalgona (sugar candy) and cotton candy will be available for visitors to enjoy.

Following this, from 1:00 PM, the “Shinmyeong” Promenade Concert will be held at the outdoor yard.

This performance is a collaboration between the Museum and the Busan Small Theater Association and will feature three sections of outdoor concerts by prominent local artists representing Busan.

The concert will present a rich array of musical genres, including classical, Korean traditional music, jazz, pop, and Latin, creating an emotional outdoor music festival that everyone—from children to seniors—can enjoy.

The event will be hosted by “HUE,” a healing musician, and the performances are scheduled as follows:

• ●1st Segment (1:00–2:05 PM)
