[Boseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] The Boseong-gun Korean Tea (Cha) Museum announced on the 20th that it has been selected for this year's cultural industry promotion content development support project, hosted by Jeonnam Province and carried out by the Jeonnam Information and Culture Industry Promotion Agency.

Boseong-gun was selected for two projects in the 'Cultural Industry Promotion Content Development Project,' which was conducted with 9 support tasks across 5 fields: the 'Museum and Art Gallery Experience Content Production Support Project' and the 'Regional Specialized Content Development Support Project.'

The 'Museum and Art Gallery Experience Content Production Support Project' will invest 290 million KRW, planning to implement media art shaped like tea leaves and tea flowers at the entrance (102㎡) of the Tea Culture Room on the first floor of the Korean Tea Museum.

Upon entering the museum, visitors will experience a virtual green tea field as if entering a tea plantation world, realized through mapping interactive technology as media art, creating converged digital content.

The 'Regional Specialized Content Development Support Project' will be established at the exit of the Tea Culture Room (62㎡) with a total project cost of 300 million KRW.

Using tea fields as the theme, the content will depict the process from the growth of tea trees to processing and entering our bodies, the health effects, and the spirit of tea, utilizing XR immersive technology, sound, and special effects.

A Boseong-gun official stated, "This content created at the Korean Tea Museum themed on Boseong's tea culture will be a cultural asset that combines ICT convergence technology leading the 4th industrial revolution and the creativity of media art, serving as an opportunity to further elevate Boseong's culture and arts and South Korea's science industry."

Meanwhile, on the 6th, the Korean Tea Museum was selected for the 'Smart Public Museum and Art Gallery Construction Support Project' hosted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, securing 200 million KRW in project funds, and plans to proceed with the construction of an 'Archive Wall' within the year to convert museum-held materials into digital media for viewing and searching.
