Bokcheon Museum to Host Summer Vacation Program for Children: “Little Curators, Big Exhibition”

내용

Busan Metropolitan City Bokcheon Museum announced it will host a summer vacation program titled “Little Curators, Big Exhibition” for elementary school students from August 12 (Mon) to August 15 (Thu), spanning four days.

This program allows participants to utilize artifacts excavated from the Bokcheondong Ancient Tombs to plan and curate their own exhibitions, offering a chance to experience the role of a museum curator. It is designed to foster creative thinking and deepen understanding of the region’s cultural heritage.

Rather than a passive viewing or simple craft-making experience, “Little Curators, Big Exhibition” provides an interactive educational format where children actively engage in the world of museum curation. The program is intended to spark curiosity and inquiry while offering a meaningful opportunity to learn about local history and culture.
