The Beautiful Donation Parade Continues in 2020
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Donations of local relics from residents continue to the Goheung Buncheong Culture Museum, which is striving to collect daily life and folk artifacts.
According to the Goheung Buncheong Culture Museum on the 3rd, the relics donated by local residents include agricultural tools, fishing tools, livestock tools used from the Japanese colonial period to the 1980s, as well as daily necessities such as resident registration cards, graduation albums, and certificates from the 1960s to the 1980s.
In the first half of this year, local residents willingly donated about 240 precious daily life and folk artifacts that they had cherished for a long time, demonstrating their spirit of hometown love.
These materials are meaningful as they show the modern and contemporary lifestyle culture of Goheung residents, and after expert evaluation, they will be used for donation exhibitions and research materials at the Goheung Gapjae Folk Exhibition Hall.
The donors said, "We wanted to share the relics containing the spirit of our ancestors with many people," and "Since these relics were directly used by the people of Goheung, we hope the museum will preserve and utilize them well."
Goheung County presents donation certificates, donation plaques, and donor cards to relic donors, invites them to special exhibitions of donated relics, and provides published catalogs. In particular, those holding donor cards can visit the museum and exhibition hall free of charge.
