[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Yuri] Galleria Department Store recently announced on the 4th that as artworks have become a content in department stores, they are strengthening lectures on art collecting culture and auctions in their department store cultural center programs.

Galleria stated that while accepting registrations for the fall semester cultural center programs until the 31st, a large number of related programs have been opened. At the Gwanggyo and Daejeon cultural centers, in collaboration with 'Ian Art Consulting,' lectures introducing the overview, history, and major works of the world's largest art fair 'Art Basel,' which will be held next month, have been established.

They will also present a lecture program dealing with the art historical value and importance of a collection donated by a domestic corporate family, the largest in Korean history.

Additionally, ▲Magic Talk Concert with Masterpieces ▲Art Market Lecture by a Senior Auctioneer from Christie's Hong Kong will be held at the Gwanggyo Cultural Center, and ▲Art Collecting Finance ▲Stories of Korean Art Collections will welcome customers at the Daejeon Timeworld Cultural Center.

Aside from art themes, an unusual program at Daejeon Timeworld offers a science experience and mentoring class for 3rd to 6th grade elementary students and their guardians, conducted together with KAIST researchers and undergraduates. At the Gwanggyo Cultural Center, interior and flower classes focusing on collecting and reselling that reflect one's own taste are prepared.

Meanwhile, Kwon Cheolhwa, the main artist of the art project exhibition 'Saisai' currently held at Galleria, will give a lecture at the Gwanggyo Cultural Center on the 17th.

A Galleria official said, "As customers have more opportunities to appreciate and purchase paintings at the department store, requests for opening related cultural center lectures are also increasing."
