The first special exhibition of this year is 『Manbal (滿發) - 2022 Goheung Buncheong Culture Museum Resident Artists’ Achievement Special Exhibition』, which introduces the works of resident artists. It showcases special works by ceramic artists who have given new cultural meaning to Goheung Buncheong ware culture, and has been held successfully since November of last year.

In March, the museum will hold a special exhibition titled 『Buncheong Ware and Grain Transport』, comparing Buncheong ware excavated from Taean Mado Line 4 with Goheung Buncheong ware, while introducing the grain transport system and tribute system. This exhibition will allow visitors to examine the routes and transportation processes of Goheung Undae-ri Buncheong ware after its production to its delivery as tribute ware to the central government, expected to stimulate the historical pride of county residents.

In August, a special exchange exhibition titled ‘Yuldo (栗島, Ulleungdo) and Heungyang People’ will be held, introducing how people from Goheung advanced to Ulleungdo, our land, and spread maritime culture. This exhibition will offer an opportunity to encounter the spirit of ‘Our Land, Dokdo Guardianship’ and its historical significance.

In October, the “Goheung Buncheong Ware National Contest Award-Winning Works Exhibition” will be held, showcasing Buncheong ware reinterpreted between tradition and modernity, selected through a rigorous screening of creative ceramic artists’ works nationwide.

In November, the ‘2023 Museum Resident Artists’ Achievements’ exhibition will be held, introducing works that capture the beauty of Undae-ri Buncheong ware, creative pieces, and sweet color tones from the perspective of resident artists.

Additionally, traveling exhibitions of national and public museums in the eastern region of Jeonnam, exhibitions of works by students of Buncheong ware ceramic classes, and other events will be held in the museum lobby. Exhibitions in collaboration with craft trend fairs and local art galleries are also planned, gradually expanding cultural and artistic enjoyment spaces within the region.

A county official stated, “As a historical, cultural, artistic, and tourism facility leading the development of local history, culture, and arts, we plan and promote various projects to satisfy cultural enjoyment for local residents and strive to create a harmonious space where a wide range of groups can communicate.”
