[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Yoseop] Busan Museum announced on the 10th that it will hold a folk festival "Come Play at the Museum! Have Fun!" on the 25th, the biggest national holiday Seollal, where families can enjoy together.

The Seollal folk festival consists of traditional folk performances, folk games open to everyone, and experiences such as mirror making. Families participating in various traditional folk games that are usually hard to experience, such as Yutnori fortune-telling, Tuho, Gulleongsoe, Jegichagi, and top spinning, are expected to fully enjoy the festive atmosphere.

On the same day, from 1:30 PM, a traditional folk performance by the Busan Arts Troupe will be held in the lobby of the Busan Hall. From 2 PM, after the performance ends, the experience program "Make My Own Mirror" using the Year of the Rat character will be held four times.

The Seollal folk festival is open to all visitors to the museum. The experience program can be joined by up to 30 people per session, with on-site registration starting at 1 PM for 30 minutes each session.

A representative of Busan Museum said, "Families gathered for the Seollal holiday can visit the museum to create memories through traditional folk games, folk performances, and mirror making experiences using the Year of the Rat character," adding, "We hope this will be an opportunity to rethink our fading traditional folk culture."
