[Asia Economy Reporter Byunghee Park] Lotte Museum will reopen its special Korean exhibition commemorating the 50th anniversary of the moon landing, "To the Moon with Snoopy," starting May 8.

The reopening is designed to accommodate visitors who had difficulty attending due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Lotte Museum plans to allow "limited viewing" under thorough self-quarantine measures and strict control. Visitors must wear masks and can enter only after hand sanitization and temperature checks. The museum will disinfect the exhibition hall daily after closing and will not allow docent-led tours or group visits for the time being.

As part of the "social distancing" program for daily quarantine, Lotte Museum plans to offer a private exhibition viewing program and an online art contest as an educational program. Special exhibition viewings exclusively for individuals require advance reservations, which can be made through the Lotte Museum website.

In the Lotte Museum's educational program "LMoA art studio," an online "Stay-at-Home Art Contest" will be held for the first time. Children aged 5 to 13 can participate by uploading artworks matching the theme on Instagram and tagging them with the designated hashtags. The contest will run from May 8 to 31, and detailed information can be found on the Lotte Museum website and the official LMoA art studio Instagram.

The "To the Moon with Snoopy" exhibition will continue until June 21. In September, Lotte Museum plans to hold the largest-ever domestic exhibition titled "Jean-Michel Basquiat: Streets, Art, Heroes."
