Gwangju Buk-gu Opens 'Smart Museum' Offering Online and Offline Experiences

Selected for the Ministry of Culture's '2021 Smart Public Museum Establishment Support Project,' Securing 100 Million KRW in National Funding

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] Buk-gu, Gwangju City, is introducing a unique museum where visitors can experience both online and offline using advanced media technology.

According to Buk-gu on the 7th, the 'Magic Spoon Smart Museum' will open and operate within the Namdo Local Food Museum starting from the 10th.

This project involved a total investment of 200 million KRW, including 100 million KRW secured through the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism's '2021 Smart Public Museum and Art Gallery Construction Support Project' competition.

The smart museum is an interactive viewing system that combines online content with offline exhibits using IoT (Internet of Things) technology.

Visitors can view about 300 exhibits, including food models displayed in the museum, and use a magic spoon equipped with an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) chip to scan at kiosks and create their own Namdo traditional full-course meal setting.

The completed meal setting can be viewed through media tables and screen videos, and the image is also sent to the participant via text message.

Director Moon said, "We expect that providing experiential content to visitors of the Namdo Local Food Museum will increase visitor satisfaction," and added, "We will continue to strive to offer various cultural experience contents to residents."
