[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongnam Province, and the National Jinju Museum announced on the 30th that they have signed a business agreement to preserve local historical and cultural heritage.

The agreement was promoted to facilitate museum activities such as preservation, research, exhibitions, and education related to local historical and cultural heritage.

The signing ceremony was held simply at the National Jinju Museum, where Jang Sang-hoon, director of the National Jinju Museum, and Jo Won-young, director of the Hapcheon Museum, met, due to quarantine measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

As the first project of the business cooperation, a special exhibition will be jointly held at the Hapcheon Museum in May.

The special exhibition will display eight Buddhist statues, including the gilt-bronze standing Buddha statue excavated from Dunnae-ri, Gahoe-myeon, and seven other statues from major temple sites within Hapcheon-gun.

County Governor Moon Jun-hee said, “Through this agreement, the two institutions will continue to cooperate in academic research illuminating local history, development and operation of educational programs, and exhibitions. We believe this will contribute to enhancing the pride of local residents in their historical and cultural heritage.”
