Back to the Three Kingdoms Era: Reopening of Busan Jeonggwan Museum

Children's Experience Room Reopens on the 19th with New Renovations and Content... Highlighting the Characteristics of the Three Kingdoms Era Experience

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Kim Yong-woo] The Jeonggwan Museum in Busan will reopen on the 16th after completing the renovation of its children's experience room.

Opened in 2015, the Jeonggwan Museum has been operating as a museum showcasing the lifestyle of the Three Kingdoms period. This time, it reopens with a variety of experience contents tailored to children's perspectives.

Newly introduced are 3D puzzles of the museum's representative artifacts, such as the house-shaped pottery (City Designated Tangible Cultural Property No. 199) and bird-shaped pottery. Various interesting play experiences such as building houses with blocks, weaving clothes with warp and weft threads, setting a Three Kingdoms period dining table, an interactive hunting game, and decorating a village with stamps of Three Kingdoms period buildings help visitors gain insight into the lives of ancestors from the Three Kingdoms era.

Additionally, there is a space where visitors can listen to or enjoy drawing and coloring traditional folktales from Korea and other countries, as well as a separate area for families to share memories through puzzles and board games.

The reopened children's experience room limits the number of visitors and usage time per session to ensure safety and a comfortable, efficient play and learning environment. Operating hours are from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. (last admission at 5 p.m.), with a total of 8 sessions per day, each lasting 50 minutes.

Between each session, there is a 10-minute period for organizing educational materials and checking visitors, and from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. daily, there is time allocated for disinfecting materials and maintaining the viewing environment. Especially to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the number of visitors per session is limited to 20 people (including guardians) for the time being.

Admission is free and can be used through advance reservation or on-site registration. Advance reservations must be made on the Jeonggwan Museum website at least one day before the desired visit date. On-site registration is only possible if the number of online advance reservations is less than the session capacity.

Seong Hyun-joo, director of the Jeonggwan Museum, said, “We hope this historical and cultural experience space, featuring various play and experiences themed around houses, villages, clothes, and food of the Three Kingdoms period, will stimulate children's curiosity about the history and culture of the Three Kingdoms and foster their imagination.”
