[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] The largest public museum in Gyeongnam, focusing on industry, labor, and history, will be established in Changwon.

Changwon City in Gyeongnam announced on the 3rd that it has established a roadmap for the construction of the Changwon Museum to realize a special city status and improve the daily lives of cultural citizens, aiming to complete the museum by 2025 with 18 detailed strategies across six fields.

The Changwon Museum construction project is an initiative by Changwon City to build a representative museum themed on "industry, labor, and history" in the Seongsan-gu area, with a total project cost of 71.4 billion KRW. Construction is scheduled to begin by the end of next year and the museum is planned to open in 2025.

In January, the city formed the "Changwon Museum Construction TF" and passed the "Ordinance on the Collection and Management of Museum Holdings in Changwon City" through the Changwon City Council. Based on this institutional support, the roadmap was established.

Reflecting the characteristics of building the largest public museum in Gyeongnam, the city set detailed specialization strategies across six fields.

These include 18 focused strategic tasks categorized into administration (rapid museum construction), organizational operation (efficient organization and manpower design), exhibition design (creative exhibition environment establishment), artifact collection management (efficient collection system operation), content development (harmonizing themes of industry, labor, and history), and marketing promotion (public discourse among citizens and brand promotion).

Mayor Heo Seong-mu stated, “Through smart strategy formulation, we will do our best to create a representative museum that compiles Changwon’s history from past to present and establishes the identity of Changwon citizens.”
