Jeonggwan Museum to Host “Sodubang Children’s Museum Class: Remember Me! My Traces”

내용

The Jeonggwan Museum, part of the Busan Metropolitan City Museum, announced that it will host the first-half 2026 weekend education program, “Sodubang Children’s Museum Class – Remember Me! My Traces,” for elementary school students on the fourth Saturday of each month from April to July.

This program focuses on tombs from the Three Kingdoms period and the burial goods interred within them, offering a participatory educational experience where children can understand the lives of people in the past and reflect on and visualize what traces represent “themselves” today.

In the theoretical session, participants will learn about the meaning contained in artifacts through stories of Three Kingdoms–period tombs in their local area, interpreted through burial goods. In the subsequent field session, they will observe actual artifacts in the permanent exhibition hall and complete activity-based missions as part of an artifact exploration program.

In the final hands-on activity, participants will draw images representing themselves—such as their treasured belongings or dreams—and transfer these designs onto a mug to create their own unique piece.

The program will be held three times on April 25, June 27, and July 25 (no session in May), running from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. It is open to elementary school students in Grades 1 through 4, with 15 participants accepted per session on a first-come, first-served basis.

Applications can be submitted online starting at 10:00 a.m. on the Tuesday of each program week (April 21, June 23, and July 21) via the Jeonggwan Museum website (museum.busan.go.kr/jeonggwan) or the Busan Metropolitan City Integrated Reservation System (reserve.busan.go.kr). Additional details are available on the website or by contacting the museum at 051-720-6900.

Dong Jin-suk, Director of Jeonggwan Museum, stated, “Through this Sodubang Children’s Museum Class, we hope children will gain an understanding of the thoughts and emotions embedded in artifacts from the past and spend a meaningful time creating works that reflect their own values,” adding, “We ask for the interest and participation of children in the region.”
