Opening of Busan Museum of Art Children's Gallery on Naver Zepeto, a Metaverse Platform.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] The Busan Museum of Art opened the "Busan Museum of Art Children's Gallery" on Naver Zepeto, a metaverse platform, on the 22nd, providing a service that allows children to view exhibitions without restrictions of time and space.

The metaverse children's gallery, funded by the donation for children's educational content development from the "Busan Museum Association," consists of three experiential contents: ▲"Museum Etiquette with Padongi," the Busan Museum of Art character, ▲Children's gallery exhibition "Angular Circle: Kim Yong-gwan," and ▲Exhibition-linked educational program "Round Square."

▲In "Museum Etiquette with Padongi," visitors can learn about proper viewing culture by reading messages delivered by the cute character. The ▲"Angular Circle: Kim Yong-gwan," which replicates the actual offline exhibition space in the virtual world, allows children who have difficulty accessing museums nearby or face-to-face viewing to easily experience the virtual museum. Along with this, the exhibition-linked educational program ▲"Round Square" helps naturally understand the artistic world of artist Kim Yong-gwan through questions.

To commemorate the opening of the metaverse children's gallery, online participation events such as "Taking a Selfie with Padongi" and "Showing Off Certification Shots" are being held, and winners will receive exhibition-linked souvenirs in January next year.

A representative of the Busan Museum of Art said, "We hope that even children who are not familiar with museums will have the opportunity to enjoy art through experiencing the virtual exhibition space," and added, "We will continue to strive to provide various collection exhibitions and educational programs through the metaverse children's gallery."

To participate, you can access the metaverse through the QR code on the Busan Museum of Art website or search for "Busan Museum of Art" or "BMA" within Zepeto to enter. For more details, please contact the museum.
