[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] The Incheon Metropolitan Museum is developing historical and cultural content utilizing new technologies such as virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI) to provide citizens with a unique cultural experience service.

On the 8th, Incheon City announced that the Metropolitan Museum was selected in the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism's '2021 Public Museum and Art Gallery Immersive Content Production and Experience Zone Creation Support Project' competition.

Accordingly, the Incheon Metropolitan Museum plans to create a media art experience zone themed "The Road of Incheon," with a total project budget of 1 billion KRW, including 500 million KRW in national funding.

They will also establish an edutainment experience zone called "The Road of Baekbeom and Hongjin," where visitors can hear stories of Incheon's independence movement through Baekbeom Kim Gu and Mano Hong Jin.

Through this project, the museum will overcome the limitations of static artifact exhibitions by using interactive media technology to allow visitors to vividly experience the historical continuity of Incheon's past, present, and future in a spatiotemporal manner.

Yoo Donghyun, director of the Incheon Metropolitan Museum, stated, "As a museum representing Incheon, we will strive to develop content that keeps pace with the Fourth Industrial Revolution."
