Busan Modern and Contemporary History Museum to Operate Winter Vacation Program “Warm Museum Vacation” for Elementary School Students

내용

Busan Modern and Contemporary History Museum (hereinafter “the Museum”) announced that it will operate a winter vacation program, “Warm Myucance (Museum Vacation),” for elementary school students in grades 3–6 starting on January 20.

“Warm Myucance” is an educational program designed by the Museum to help children learn modern and contemporary history in an enjoyable and engaging way during the winter vacation.

This program will be offered in connection with the special exhibition “Busan’s Treasure Island, Yeongdo,” under the theme “Yeongdo I Met.” Yeongdo is a representative area that illustrates the formation and transformation of Busan’s modern and contemporary history, and this program presents the characteristics of Yeongdo’s industries and everyday culture in an easy-to-understand way based on the special exhibition.

The program will proceed in the following order: viewing the special exhibition gallery, quiz activities, and an audiovisual lesson.

First, students will explore the flow of Yeongdo’s modern and contemporary history through a guided tour and interpretation of the special exhibition, and spend time deepening their understanding of Yeongdo’s history and culture.

Afterward, they will participate in quiz activities in the exhibition gallery based on what they learned in the lesson. Using exhibition content such as artifacts and photographic materials, students will review what they learned and find the answers on their own. After the lesson, participants will also take part in a hands-on activity to make a keyring and a pouch reflecting Yeongdo’s history and culture.

The program will run from January 20 to 25, twice a day (10:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.). Registration will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis starting at 10:00 a.m. on January 12 via the Busan Modern and Contemporary History Museum website: https://busan.go.kr/mmch/index.

Eligibility is limited to elementary school students in grades 3–6, with 14 participants per session. Participation is free of charge, and students may participate without a guardian.

Museum Director Kim Gi-yong said, “I hope this program, themed around Yeongdo—a place that shows the formation and transformation of Busan’s modern and contemporary history—will help elementary school students understand history through stories that are easy and fun.”
