Jeonnam Provincial Art Museum 'Pre-Opening on the 23rd'... Diverse Exhibitions Including VR Works

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Jeonnam Provincial Museum of Art announced on the 5th that it will hold a pre-opening exhibition on the 23rd to provide cultural enjoyment opportunities to residents thirsty for culture and arts.

Sponsored and supported by the French Cultural Center, this pre-opening exhibition will continue until January 31 next year, and the Jeonnam Provincial Museum of Art will officially open in March next year.

This pre-opening exhibition welcomes visitors with two themes: ‘#VR #Travel’ and ‘Museum Tour Without Artworks.’

First, through ‘#VR #Travel,’ visitors can enjoy Claude Monet’s Impressionist painting ‘Water Lilies,’ currently exhibited at the Mus?e de l'Orangerie in France, in VR right before their eyes. Additionally, visitors can experience Mozart’s compositions performed by a symphony orchestra at the Saint-Th?mer Notre-Dame Cathedral in VR, making art, which is usually perceived as difficult, easy and fun to approach.

Along with this, various events are prepared to excite visitors, such as a game to find 200 children and toys within 15 minutes inside ‘Children’s Games,’ a representative work by 16th-century Dutch painter Pieter Bruegel.

The second theme, ‘Museum Tour Without Artworks,’ offers a valuable opportunity to tour the museum’s storage with the museum director and curators. Visitors can also hear explanations about the roles and functions of the storage from them.

Lee Jiho, director of the Jeonnam Provincial Museum of Art, said, “Through this pre-opening exhibition, I hope it will help to satisfy residents’ curiosity about the museum’s secret space, the storage, and also alleviate the cultural enjoyment thirst caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, even if just a little.”
