내용

Busan Museum announced that it will operate the non-face-to-face educational program “2026 Museum Yomijomi: Let’s Go Around Dongnae Together (Prehistoric Edition)” to help young children learn about Busan’s prehistoric culture in an easy and enjoyable way.

The program is designed for early childhood education institutions, including kindergartens and daycare centers. Participating institutions will receive educational videos and hands-on learning materials free of charge, enabling them to conduct self-directed educational activities in their classrooms.

The program focuses on prehistoric artifacts excavated from Dongsam-dong Shell Midden, one of Busan’s representative prehistoric sites, as well as prehistoric collections exhibited in the Dongnae Gallery of Busan Museum.

Participating children will watch a storytelling video depicting the daily lives of prehistoric people to gain an understanding of prehistoric culture. Through the activity worksheet “Tick-Tock Time Adventure,” they will attach prehistoric artifacts to a clock face and learn about the characteristics of artifacts from different periods.

In addition, children will be able to experience prehistoric life and culture through a shell fan (mask) making activity inspired by the shell mask excavated from Dongsam-dong Shell Midden.

Applications will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis through the Busan Museum website (museum.busan.go.kr) beginning June 23. Participation is free of charge.

The recommended age range is 5 to 7 years old, and one representative from each early childhood education institution may submit an application. Detailed information is available on the museum website. Inquiries may be directed to the Museum Education and Public Relations Team at 051-610-7181.

Jeong Eun-woo, Director of Busan Museum, stated, “We hope this program will provide young children with an opportunity to become familiar with Dongsam-dong Shell Midden, one of Busan’s representative prehistoric sites, and to better understand prehistoric culture.” He added, “We will continue to expand history and cultural education programs tailored to the interests and developmental levels of children.”
