내용

Bokcheon Museum, part of Busan Museum under Busan Metropolitan City, will host the 19th Archaeology Lecture Series for Citizens on November 13 and 20 in the museum's first-floor lecture room.

This year's lecture series, themed "Stories of Horses in Artifacts and Historical Records," has been organized in conjunction with Bokcheon Museum's special exhibition, "Running Through Time Together: The Story of Horses in Our Lives."

The four lectures will explore the relationship between horses and humans, Gaya's equestrian culture, the history of horses as documented in historical records, and the history of horse ranches in Busan. Together, they will provide participants with a broad understanding of the history and culture of horses from ancient times through the modern and contemporary periods.

Since 2008, Bokcheon Museum has held its annual Archaeology Lecture Series for Citizens to enhance public understanding of archaeology and encourage greater interest in the region's historical and cultural heritage.

Drawing on research findings from various disciplines, including archaeology and history, this year's lecture series will examine horses from multiple perspectives, offering participants an opportunity to gain fresh insights into the significance and roles of horses throughout Korean history.

The lectures will take place on November 13 and 20, from 1:30 p.m. to 4:50 p.m., in the first-floor lecture room of Bokcheon Museum.

Applications can be submitted online through the Bokcheon Museum website (https://museum.busan.go.kr/bokcheon) or in person at the museum's information desk until 6:00 p.m. on November 6. A total of 50 participants will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Both the lectures and course materials will be provided free of charge.

Sung Hyun-joo, Director of Bokcheon Museum, said, "We hope this lecture series will provide citizens with an opportunity to reflect on the longstanding relationship between horses and humans and rediscover the significance and value of horses in Korean history and culture."
