The “Children’s One-Day Museum School,” designed for elementary school students, is an educational program that allows children to learn about the history and traditional culture of their hometown Ulsan through hands-on experiences. The educational themes change every two months.

This session is organized in connection with the Ulsan Museum special exhibition “Joyful Feast ? Wishing for Blessings,” providing an opportunity to understand the symbols of abundance, wealth, and longevity depicted in the painting Gwak Bunyang Haengnakdo (郭汾陽行樂圖). The experience involves understanding the meaning of the painting and expressing the children’s wishes through drawings, followed by guessing and matching each other’s wishes.

Gwak Bunyang Haengnakdo (郭汾陽行樂圖) is a painting depicting Guo Ziyi (697?781), a general of the Tang Dynasty in China who enjoyed wealth and honor throughout his life, celebrating a banquet with his family in a luxurious mansion.

An official from Ulsan Museum said, “Since ancient times, our ancestors believed that by putting their earnest wishes into paintings or placing them nearby, their wishes would come true. We hope that through this educational program, children will learn the wisdom of their ancestors and that their creatively expressed wishes will surely be fulfilled.”

The Ulsan Museum special exhibition “Joyful Feast ? Wishing for Blessings” is open for viewing at the Ulsan Museum special exhibition hall until May 11.
