[Yeosu=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Heo Seonsik] Jeonnam Yeosu City announced that it held the final briefing session for the "Feasibility Study and Basic Plan Establishment Service for the Construction of Yeosu City Art Museum" on March 10th at the city hall situation room.

The session was organized to finalize the research results of the service, which has been ongoing since March last year, and to gather opinions from related experts.

At the briefing, the service provider, Knowledge Industry Research Institute Co., Ltd., presented research results by field including ▲construction site ▲exhibition content ▲operation plan ▲basic architectural plan ▲economic feasibility, leading to various opinions from attending committee members on related legal reviews and efficient space composition.

In particular, regarding the construction site, two citizen surveys were conducted in July last year and February this year. The survey results showed that Mangma Park (near Ungcheon Yeulmaru) was the most preferred location.

Based on the service results and surveys, the city plans to prepare a basic construction plan for a complex cultural art museum with four exhibition rooms, storage, and an art book cafe, covering a total floor area of 6,700㎡ with one basement floor and three above-ground floors.

Additionally, the plan is to form a cultural district by linking Yeulmaru and the Yeosu City Museum (planned construction), located near the construction site (Mangma Park).

Once the basic plan for the construction of Yeosu City Art Museum is established, preliminary procedures such as the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism's pre-evaluation and the Ministry of the Interior and Safety's local finance investment review will be undertaken.

Mayor Kwon Oh-bong of Yeosu said, "The construction of the art museum will enhance the quality of life of our citizens and the status of the city as a cultural tourism city," adding, "We will develop various cultural services so that anyone can visit comfortably and easily, and develop it into a cultural hub where daily life and art coexist."
