[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] The 'Yang Dalseok Art Museum' has opened in Seongnae Village, Sadeung-myeon, Geoje City, Gyeongnam.

Yeosan Yang Dalseok is a modern Korean painter born in Geoje, known as the 'Painter of Innocence' for his hometown-themed paintings imbued with childlike innocence. His representative works include 'Farmhouse' and 'Shepherd.'

According to the city on the 28th, the museum was completed in December last year, and from April this year, a street renovation project was carried out, including the exhibition of 12 paintings and the creation of photo zones along the path from the museum to Yang Dalseok's birthplace, culminating in the official opening on the 26th.

The museum exhibits a total of 11 works, including six paintings by Yang Dalseok donated by former Tongyeong City Museum director Lee Young-jun and Kim Im-su, as well as works by painters Lee Seok-woo, Jeong Jong-yeo, Song Hye-su, and Hong Young-pyo.

The Yeosan Yang Dalseok Memorial Association plans to showcase various works by Yang Dalseok at the museum by signing agreements with private collectors in the Busan and Gyeongnam regions.

The museum operates temporarily every Saturday and Sunday from 2 PM to 5 PM, and from July, it will hold the 'Yeosan Yang Dalseok Humanities Grand Festival' for four months, featuring various programs such as curated exhibitions, drawing contests, and seminars.
