[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongwook Park] Since reopening on the 12th after being closed due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), Pohang City Art Museum is welcoming visitors through a reservation system in accordance with the social distancing guidelines.

According to Pohang City on the 21st, the number of visitors admitted per hour is limited to 20, operating as a "social distancing exhibition viewing." Those wishing to visit can simply sign up as a member on the museum's website, select the desired date and time slot, and enter the number of visitors.

Reservations can be made for up to five people, and group visits are not being accepted for the time being. Visitors who come to the museum through reservations must wear masks, undergo temperature checks, and fill out a visit application form for everyone's safety before viewing the exhibitions.

The regular docent tours previously conducted are not being held to prevent the spread of COVID-19, but to assist visitors' understanding, an exhibition commentary service called "Exhibition Viewing with POMA Docents" using QR codes is provided. By scanning the QR codes posted in each exhibition room with a phone camera, visitors can listen to the docent's audio commentary, and it is convenient to use if personal earphones are brought.

The ongoing exhibitions "Remix," the donated works exhibition "Sculptor Oh Jong-wook," and the 2020 collection exhibition "Pohang Scenery" are available for viewing until August 16th in line with the reopening.
