Gangnam-gu Opens ‘Remind Gangnam’ Special Exhibition Showcasing 100 Years of Gangnam History

Gangnam-gu (District Mayor Jo Seong-myeong) held the opening ceremony of the ‘Remind Gangnam’ special exhibition, which offers a comprehensive view of 100 years of Gangnam history, at 3 PM on the 3rd in the lobby of the main building’s first floor.

This exhibition was planned to commemorate the first anniversary of the 8th elected administration, adopting the spirit of ‘On-go-ji-shin’ (learning from the past to innovate the future) to revisit Gangnam’s historical footprints and understand its history and identity.

Until August 31, the exhibition features relocated and restructured displays from the Seoul Museum of History’s ‘Hanti Village Daechi-dong’ special exhibition, now presented on the second floor of the district office main building.

Additionally, until July 7, 150 archival items held by six local schools with 100 years of history (Gyeonggi High School, Gyeonggi Girls' High School, Sudogong Technical High School, Sookmyung Girls' High School, Jungdong High School, and Whimoon High School), along with old possessions from residents, are exhibited in the lobby on the first floor of the main building.

At the opening ceremony, eight native Gangnam residents attended and reflected together on the remarkable transformation of Gangnam-gu from a typical rural village into a global luxury city.

Jo Seong-myeong, Mayor of Gangnam-gu, stated, “I hope this exhibition allows people to look back on Gangnam’s living history and feel a sense of pride. We will continue to create various opportunities to share history and the future together with our residents.”
