This year's purchase targets all types of artifacts and records that fully capture the history of Jeongeup from the historical era to the modern and contemporary periods.

The artifacts to be purchased must have a clear provenance, and illegal artifacts such as those obtained through looting or theft, or materials with unclear ownership origins, cannot be submitted for sale application.

Individuals, organizations, and cultural property dealers (licensed by the Cultural Heritage Administration) who wish to sell can apply by filling out the form posted on the city hall website's notices and announcements section and the City Museum website from the 19th to the 21st of next month.

The submitted artifacts will undergo document screening and review by the Artifact Evaluation Committee to determine the final purchase decision.

For more details, inquiries can be made to the City Museum.

A city official stated, “We hope for much interest and active participation in artifact purchases to preserve the City Museum, which holds the history and culture of Jeongeup, and to pass on the region’s precious artifacts to future generations.”

Meanwhile, Jeongeup City Museum has been focusing on collecting artifacts related to Jeongeup every year to preserve local cultural heritage.
