The Sacheon Advanced Aerospace Science Museum, which will inspire the youth who will lead our country's future with dreams of the vast universe and aviation, has reopened.

The Sacheon Advanced Aerospace Science Museum underwent a complete renewal after being finally selected as a regional tourism development project through Sacheon City's 2020 planning contest, which was a public contest project by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.

The city invested 4.4 billion KRW starting in May this year to complete a five-month content improvement project and reopened the museum on the 1st of this month.

The first floor operates under the theme of the Aviation Hall, featuring a history hall and an experience hall, while the second floor is themed as the Space Hall, offering a 4D theater, diorama zone, three types of VR experiences, and an airplane escape slide experience hall.

Notably, starting from the 1st, the museum implemented the One Ticket Free Pass, an integrated ticketing system with the Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) Aerospace Museum, enhancing convenience for visitors. This allows visitors to access both facilities with a single ticket.

Moreover, the previously blocked entrance between the Sacheon Advanced Aerospace Science Museum and the KAI Aerospace Museum is now permanently open, improving the efficiency of visitor movement between the two locations.

Sacheon City and KAI have laid the foundation for integrated operation of the Sacheon Advanced Aerospace Science Museum and the Aerospace Museum, and they expect this to revitalize the local cultural tourism industry.

Meanwhile, the Sacheon Advanced Aerospace Science Museum, operated by Sacheon City, first opened in March 2013 and has become a representative local tourist attraction visited by about 60,000 tourists annually.

With this reopening, expectations are rising for the new birth of the aerospace science museum as a regional tourism landmark based on the aerospace industry.

Mayor Park said, “I hope that future dreamers will have unlimited imagination through direct and indirect experiences related to aviation and space,” and added, “We will promote various projects to foster a spirit of adventure and challenge regarding space.”
