The exhibition is being held in the first-floor lobby of the museum from August 13 to September 30. It features the stories of five inventors who contributed to the country's independence and laid the foundation for Korea to become a leading nation in science through their inventions.

The Gwangju Science Museum produced this exhibition as a pop-up version of a traveling exhibition originally planned by the Korean Intellectual Property Office. It is also cited as a case of inter-agency cooperation.

The exhibition introduces five inventors: Jeong Inho, Kwon Doin, Kang Youngseung, Jang Yeonsong, and Park Youngro. Visitors can view detailed information through illustrations of their inventions and webpages accessible via QR codes.

This is the first time that the museum's researchers have independently produced and installed an exhibition using their own equipment and materials, establishing a foundation for holding small-scale pop-up exhibitions on a regular basis in the future.
