Songpa-gu (Mayor Seo Gang-seok) announced that it will operate the 29th ‘Songpa-gu Museum Outing’ at six museums in the district from July 25 to August 27 to celebrate the summer vacation.

‘Songpa-gu Museum Outing’ is an exhibition experience certification program that the district has been operating every vacation period since 2009 in collaboration with local museums.

This summer vacation, six institutions including Songpa-gu Yesong Art Museum, Songpa Book Museum, Hansung Baekje Museum, SOMA Museum of Art, Lotte World Folk Museum, and Korea Advertising Museum will cooperate to provide rich exhibition experiences for local children.

The experience involves visiting all six museums, participating in designated exhibitions or activities, and receiving a confirmation stamp on the ‘Appreciation Activity Sheet (learning material).’ The sheet can be obtained at the first museum visited regardless of order, and the certificate of completion is awarded at the last museum. The official certificate can later be used as a school vacation assignment.

The exhibitions include ▲ ‘DREAM GROUND’ at Songpa-gu Yesong Art Museum ▲ ‘Welcome to Joseon: Stories Left in Books from Joseon’ at Songpa Book Museum ▲ ‘2023 Special Exhibition of Donated Materials (Cheonghwa 靑花·Cheonghwa 靑畵)’ at Hansung Baekje Museum ▲ ‘flop_Dialectics of Rules and Contradictions’ at SOMA Museum of Art ▲ ‘Excavation Exhibition of Twelve Years at Kaesong Manwoldae: Connecting Kaesong Manwoldae’ at Lotte World Folk Museum ▲ and ‘2022 Public Service Advertisement Festival’ at Korea Advertising Museum, offering a diverse range from history to advertising.

For more detailed exhibition content and experience schedules, please check each institution’s website or contact them by phone. Admission is mostly free, but Lotte World Folk Museum and SOMA Museum of Art charge a small admission fee.

A district official stated that cultural exhibition spaces for local residents are being further expanded. Mongchoneun History Hall located in Olympic Park is scheduled to complete remodeling and reopen around December, and the National Sports Museum, Korea’s first sports history museum, is set to open in 2026.

Seo Gang-seok, Mayor of Songpa-gu, said, “We have joined forces with Songpa-gu museums to provide children with opportunities to visit and appreciate cultural spaces near their homes.” He added, “We will continue to expand quality exhibition experiences so that children can grow into talented individuals with cultural literacy.”
