[Asia Economy Reporter Ra Young-cheol] The Ojukheon Municipal Museum in Gangneung-si, Gangwon Province, will extend its hours until 9 PM every Friday and Saturday for a month starting from the 15th, coinciding with the summer vacation period and the opening of the beach, and will hold visitor events.

The museum will illuminate nightscape lighting to provide a resting place for tourists, and on weekends, five visitor groups will be selected to receive handcrafted items made at the traditional craft shop within the museum.

The handcrafted items are made using motifs symbolizing Ojukheon, such as Shin Saimdang, Yulgok Yi I, and Chochungdo.

The museum plans to use the nighttime operation as a preparatory stage for regular nighttime performances linked with local performing arts organizations scheduled for the second half of this year.

Kim Heung-sul, director of the Ojukheon Municipal Museum, said, "We will promote Ojukheon, the birthplace of the mother-and-child currency figures, more widely and enhance the image of Gangneung as a tourist destination."
