"Bringing Luck"... Ulsan Museum Offers Folk Painting Experience of Yonggobukdo Symbolizing Good Fortune and Protection

An event to experience the folk painting ‘Yonggeobukdo,’ which symbolizes bringing good luck, will be held at the Ulsan Museum.

The Ulsan Museum announced on the 5th that it will operate an educational program titled ‘Experience the Folk Painting Yonggeobukdo Containing Auspiciousness and Ward Off Evil’ on the 14th and 15th from 10:00 AM to 4:50 PM in the seminar room on the 2nd floor of the Ulsan Museum.

This program is designed as a hands-on experience where participants can draw the traditional folk painting ‘Yonggeobukdo (龍龜圖),’ which features the dragon and turtle, symbols of auspiciousness.

Yonggeobukdo carries the meaning of ‘warding off misfortune and enjoying wealth and power for a long time,’ adding significance as the year ends and a new year begins.

The education sessions are held three times a day (10:00 AM, 1:00 PM, and 3:00 PM), and anyone interested in drawing, from elementary school students to adults, can participate for free.

Applications open at 10:00 AM on the 5th through the Ulsan Public Facility Reservation Service, with 30 participants accepted per session on a first-come, first-served basis. On-site registration is also possible if seats remain.

A representative of the Ulsan Museum said, “We have prepared a special time to draw Yonggeobukdo, which holds the meaning of auspiciousness and warding off evil, to invite good energy into homes,” adding, “We hope many citizens will meaningfully conclude the year.”
