The Suncheon City Deep-Rooted Tree Museum in Jeollanam-do is reorganizing part of the permanent exhibition space and will reopen from the 31st.

The Suncheon City Deep-Rooted Tree Museum is a museum that preserves, exhibits, and researches over 6,500 artifacts collected throughout the lifetime of Mr. Han Chang-gi, who founded the magazine "Deep-Rooted Tree." The museum displays a variety of artifacts transcending time and space, including pottery and roof tiles from the Three Kingdoms period, art crafts from the Goryeo Dynasty, classical Korean novels in Hangeul from the Joseon Dynasty, and folk items from modern and contemporary daily life.

This exhibition reorganization was planned to increase the utilization of the museum's collection stored in the storage room. The exhibition space for Three Kingdoms period pottery at the entrance of the permanent exhibition hall has been restructured into a space where visitors can observe the changes in traditional Korean ceramics, from Three Kingdoms pottery, Goryeo celadon, late Goryeo to early Joseon Buncheong ware, to Joseon white porcelain.

In addition, old maps depicting Korea during the Joseon Dynasty and Joseon folk paintings featuring peonies, which have symbolized wealth and honor since ancient times, will also be newly presented.

Furthermore, to commemorate the museum's reopening, a new experience event called "Make Your Own Bookmark" using the collection will be introduced. The museum workbook experience, which has been ongoing since the first half of this year, will continue to be operated, providing opportunities for anyone to easily learn about the museum.

Jeong Dong-gwi, a curator at the Suncheon City Deep-Rooted Tree Museum, said, "We have prepared so that visitors can encounter various collections of Mr. Han Chang-gi," and added, "We hope many people will have a meaningful and enjoyable time at the Suncheon City Museum, where a feast of diverse artifacts transcending time and space unfolds."

Meanwhile, the Suncheon City Deep-Rooted Tree Museum will operate Chuseok holiday (September 14?18) commemorative experience and performance programs, and on October 3, it plans to hold a children's drawing contest in celebration of Hangeul Day.
