Gwangju Buk-gu Selected for 'Smart Museum Development Project' Competition

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] Gwangju Metropolitan City Buk-gu (District Mayor Moon In) announced on the 8th that its ‘Magic Spoon Smart System Construction’ project has been selected for the Korean New Deal project ‘2021 Smart Public Museum and Art Gallery Infrastructure Development Project,’ securing 100 million KRW in national funding.

The ‘Smart Museum and Art Gallery Infrastructure Development Project,’ led by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, was established to develop and provide new cultural experience content utilizing Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies.

Buk-gu plans to build the ‘Magic Spoon Smart System,’ an interactive viewing service that integrates online and offline, with a total budget of 200 million KRW including national funding.

By applying Internet of Things (IoT) technology to over 300 exhibits housed in the Namdo Local Food Museum, visitors will be able to experience their own Namdo traditional full-course meal setting while viewing virtual space exhibits.

Buk-gu expects this project to greatly contribute to increasing the number of museum visitors as well as promoting Namdo local cuisine.

Moon In, Mayor of Buk-gu, said, “Through the establishment of a smart museum system, we will provide new content suitable for the Fourth Industrial Revolution era,” and added, “Starting with the selection of this public project, we will actively promote Buk-gu-type New Deal projects for regional development and the creation of future new growth engines.”
