The 'Paengseong Life History Museum' will be established on the second floor of Paengseong Art Camp, located in Anjeong-ri, Paengseong-eup, covering an area of 277㎡. The museum will be composed of a permanent exhibition hall, a special exhibition hall, a video room, and a storage facility.

Starting with the service contract and detailed design in February this year, the city commissioned the Pyeongtaek Cultural Center, a local cultural research organization, in June to investigate contents and artifacts, collecting 165 artifacts reflecting the local life history.

At the report meeting, the collected artifacts were exhibited, and C&S, the company responsible for exhibition design and construction services, presented the detailed design plan.

Based on a total of 394 items, including 165 collected by the Pyeongtaek Cultural Center and 229 items collected or owned by the city itself, the city plans to complete the detailed design this month and operate the museum on a trial basis in December.

Kim Jae-yeol, Director of the International Culture Bureau of Pyeongtaek City, said, “We will establish the Paengseong Life History Museum to capture the traces of past lives of Paengseong residents, while also serving as a space for intergenerational communication and a hub for local tourism.”
