Bokcheon Museum to Launch Weekend Family Program “Bokjak Bokjak Bokcheon Workshop”

내용

Busan Metropolitan City Bokcheon Museum announced that it will operate the weekend family program “Bokjak Bokjak Bokcheon Workshop” from March to October, on the last Saturday of each month from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., in order to expand opportunities for citizens to participate in cultural activities and provide a moment of relaxation in daily life.

The program will not be held in September due to the Chuseok holiday. Instead, it will be offered twice in October, on the first and last Saturdays.

This program, designed for elementary school students in the region and their accompanying families, consists of hands-on activities under four different themes.
From March to April, under the theme “Sparkling Gaya Accessories,” participants will create phone bead straps inspired by Gaya ornaments.
From May to July, in connection with the special exchange exhibition “Gaya Pottery, Homage 2026,” participants will take part in a hands-on activity titled “My Own Gaya Pottery,” using clay.
In August, under the theme “Bokcheon-dong Treasure: Gilt-Bronze Crown,” participants will make their own gilt-bronze crowns using gold foil paper and sequins, gaining an understanding of Gaya culture.
From September to October, in connection with the special exhibition “Horses That Went to the Tomb,” participants will create “Horse-Shaped Keyrings.”

Any elementary school student residing in Busan may participate free of charge by forming a team with one guardian. Applications can be submitted on a first-come, first-served basis through the Bokcheon Museum website (https://museum.busan.go.kr/bokcheon) from 9:00 a.m. on Monday to 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday of the program week.

While guardians may complete the application on behalf of the student, only one student may be registered per ID.
