Busan Metropolitan City announced that Bokcheon Museum will hold a “Wish Frame Making” experience event in celebration of the First Full Moon of the Lunar New Year in the Year of the Horse (2026), offering families an opportunity to experience traditional culture together and share their wishes for the New Year.

The program will take place on March 2 from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. in the lecture room and exhibition hall of Bokcheon Museum and is open to 20 families, including elementary school students.

Commemorating the Year of the Horse, this event is themed around the treasure “Horse-Head-Shaped Horn Cup” excavated from the Bokcheon-dong Ancient Tombs.

Participants will first attend a guided lecture on the artifact and then take part in a hands-on activity to create their own wish frame using a design based on the Horse-Head-Shaped Horn Cup. In addition, a tour of the permanent exhibition hall will be provided to enhance understanding of Gaya culture and the artifacts from the Bokcheon-dong Ancient Tombs.

Any elementary school student residing in Busan may participate free of charge as a team with one guardian. Applications will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis through the Bokcheon Museum website at museum.busan.go.kr/bokcheon from 9:00 a.m. on February 23 to 6:00 p.m. on February 25.

Guardians may apply on behalf of the student; however, only one student may be registered per account.
