[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] On the 23rd, Yeongam County in Jeollanam-do announced that the Yeongam Insect Museum has been selected for the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism's '2021 Intelligent (Smart) Museum and Art Gallery Infrastructure Project.'

This contest is a project that develops new content utilizing Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies such as virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI) to provide visitors with a unique cultural experience service.

The Yeongam Insect Museum applied for the 'Online Content Production Support Project' targeting registered private museums and achieved the distinction of being the only institution selected in Jeollanam-do among the 17 confirmed sites nationwide.

Kim Seok, director of the Yeongam Insect Museum, stated, “By moving away from the traditional museum operation methods (collection, preservation, exhibition) and supporting the production of various online content related to insects and reptiles that even adults would find interesting, we expect to raise interest in insects and revitalize the museum.” He added, “We will do our best to develop programs that make the museum more approachable and familiar to visitors.”
