The Hallasan National Park Office of the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province World Heritage Headquarters announced on July 29 that it will hold a special exhibition titled "Fragments of Hallasan Memories" at the Mountain Museum from August 5 to October 26. The exhibition will highlight the management of Hallasan during the 1990s and 2000s, based on materials excavated by the office itself.

This year's special exhibition consists of photographs and materials related to the maintenance and restoration of Hallasan National Park's trails and other aspects of park management and upkeep from that period. In particular, it is organized as an archival exhibition, categorizing how the Hallasan National Park Office managed and operated Hallasan by major themes.

Visitors can vividly experience the management practices of Hallasan in the 1990s and 2000s through a variety of photographs taken directly by Hallasan National Park staff during their duties. The exhibition also showcases the efforts of the staff to ensure safe and pleasant visits. Old photographs reveal the changes Hallasan has undergone and offer the enjoyment of recalling memories.

Ko Jongseok, head of the World Heritage Headquarters, stated, "Until now, most Hallasan photos on display have been from the 1950s to the 1980s, but this time, through our own research, we are providing an opportunity to look back at Hallasan in the 1990s and 2000s. I hope this exhibition will offer visitors a renewed appreciation for the value of Hallasan."
