내용

Busan Library announced that it will host the “Memories of Busan” Special Exhibition from tomorrow, February 11, through March 15 at the second-floor exhibition hall.

As a library specializing in Busan studies, Busan Library organized this special exhibition to reexamine the city’s local identity and historical value and to visually convey the process of Busan’s transformation and growth to citizens.

“Memories of Busan,” operated by Busan Library, is a platform that preserves and shares important records and materials related to daily life and cultural history that reflect Busan’s identity.

This exhibition was planned to widely introduce “Memories of Busan” to the public and to enable anyone to easily access materials related to Busan studies.

The exhibition features approximately 100 photographs depicting the past appearances of Busan’s 16 districts and counties, including Dongnae Hot Springs (1927), the former Busan City Hall building (1966), Songdo Beach (1966), Busan Pyeonghwa Market (1969), and the groundbreaking ceremony of the Busan Museum (1971).

The photographs presented in the exhibition vividly illustrate everyday life and traces of urban change in each area, allowing citizens to gain a more approachable understanding of Busan’s history.

In addition, the exhibited photographs are important records collected as part of Busan studies and are linked to the “Memories of Busan” digital archive, enabling continued access to Busan’s historical records online.

The exhibition is open free of charge to all visitors from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. daily, except Mondays and public holidays, which are library closure days.

For inquiries related to the exhibition, please contact the Busan Library Information Services Team at 051-310-5470.

Park Eun-a, Director of Busan Library, stated, “This special exhibition will provide an opportunity to view at a glance the passage of time and changes experienced by each area of Busan,” adding, “I hope it will serve as a chance for citizens to deepen their understanding and interest in local history and culture and to make more active use of the ‘Memories of Busan’ digital archive.”
