In addition to planned exhibitions featuring diverse themes such as traditional culture, rice cakes, and literature, visitors can participate in activities reflecting each museum's characteristics, including drawing Minhwa coaster designs, making bookmarks, dreamcatchers, lacquerware boxes, and eco-friendly household items. A docent tour program is also available, where curators provide direct explanations about the exhibitions to enhance understanding.

The opening ceremony will be held on the 16th at Chunwondang Korean Medicine Museum (Donhwamun-ro 9-gil 27). The event will begin at 2 p.m. with District Mayor Jeong Munheon and members of the Jongno-gu Private Museum Association in attendance, followed by an opening, welcome speech, congratulatory performance, and exhibition viewing.

Meanwhile, the Beautiful Jongno Museum Outing aims to provide a culturally rich life to vulnerable residents and children by distributing 4,000 invitation tickets. Additionally, promotional materials containing 50% discount tickets on admission fees are distributed to residents, offering an opportunity to enjoy high-quality exhibitions at a lower price than usual.

District Mayor Jeong Munheon stated, "In Jongno, often called the 'museum without a roof,' we are holding a joint exhibition centered on private museums in the district to offer residents a unique cultural experience. Since the event is carefully prepared with small but distinctive themed exhibitions and experience programs, I recommend taking this opportunity to visit the various museums in Jongno."
