Bokcheon Museum Hosts Autumn Gaya Relic Class for Elementary School Students “Bokdungi’s Autumn Outing”

내용

Busan Metropolitan City’s Bokcheon Museum, under the Busan Museum, announced that it will operate the autumn Gaya relic class titled “Bokdungi’s Autumn Outing” every Sunday from the second to the fifth week of November 2025, from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.

The event will be held every Sunday throughout November—on November 9, 16, 23, and 30—starting at 2:00 p.m.

This four-session program is designed as an experiential educational course based on relics excavated from the Bokcheon-dong Ancient Tombs, in connection with Bokcheon Museum’s 2025 special exhibition themes: Glass Beads, Gaya History Webtoon, and Bokcheon-dong Ancient Tombs. The program aims to deepen understanding of Busan’s regional history.

Programs include the Glass Bead Workshop (November 9), Becoming a Webtoon Artist (November 16), and Making Turtle Chenille Dolls (November 23 and 30). These are restructured from the museum’s newly developed and popular programs in 2025.

In particular, the Glass Bead Workshop and Becoming a Webtoon Artist are linked to Bokcheon Museum’s 2025 special exhibitions, Stringing Together Time: Glass Beads and Gaya Toon (a special exchange exhibition). These programs, which previously received high satisfaction from participants, will return as part of the autumn Gaya relic class.

Meanwhile, Making Turtle Chenille Dolls was designed using turtle-shaped earthen figurines found in Tombs No. 10 and 11 of the Bokcheon-dong Ancient Tombs (designated Treasure). This program will also be featured at the Museum Harmony Education Festival scheduled for November 8.

The program is open to 20 family teams, each consisting of one to two elementary school students and one guardian. Classes will be held in the museum’s lecture and exhibition rooms.

Registration is available on a first-come, first-served basis from 10:00 a.m. on November 3 until 5:00 p.m. on November 6 via the Bokcheon Museum website. Participation is free of charge.

Seong Hyun-joo, Director of Bokcheon Museum, stated,
“This autumn Gaya relic class is designed to help elementary school students better understand Busan’s local history and Gaya culture through experience programs related to the museum’s special exhibitions and representative artifacts. We will continue to strengthen the museum’s cultural service functions by offering a wider variety of experiential programs, encouraging more citizens to visit the museum.”
