Seoul Science Park "Come to the Star-worthy Night Opening"

The Seoul Metropolitan Science Museum announced on the 20th that it will hold the ‘Monthly Beast’ event on the 25th, allowing visitors to experience the mysteries of the universe.

Since March this year, the Science Museum has been hosting a night opening event (Monthly Beast) every last Wednesday of the month until 10 PM, providing a unique science museum experience for office workers and teenagers who find it difficult to visit the museum during the day. Admission is free.

The theme of the October ‘Monthly Beast’ is ‘Cosmos Filled with Starlight,’ featuring 18 different hands-on and exhibition events focused on astronomy, space, and robots.

First, from 5:30 PM on the 25th, a one-hour quadruped robot demonstration will be held at Hagye Station (Line 7), the closest station to the Seoul Metropolitan Science Museum, for citizens. In the lobby on the first floor of the Science Museum, visitors can experience controlling the quadruped robot along with the demonstration. Additionally, participants can join the ‘Starry Coaster’ experience, where the robot engraves constellations and phrases.

On the second floor observatory and rooftop of the museum, visitors can observe the moon, planets (Jupiter, Saturn), and representative autumn constellations such as Pegasus and Andromeda using astronomical telescopes. The ‘Korean Amateur Astronomy Association’ and the ‘Youth Astronomy Observation Club’ will assist citizens with their astronomical observation experience.

Programs requiring prior reservation will be conducted on a first-come, first-served basis through the Seoul Metropolitan Government Public Service Reservation system. For more details, please refer to the Seoul Metropolitan Science Museum website or contact the Education Support Division.

Yoo Man-seon, director of the Seoul Metropolitan Science Museum, said, “We started the night opening event ‘Monthly Beast’ this year to blend science and culture and to make science feel closer through lectures and hands-on experiences, and it will continue until November. We hope many people enjoy the various programs prepared so that anyone can see celestial bodies, listen to the universe, feel exploration, and share experiences.”
