On the days of the event, the storage facility will remain open until 9 p.m., offering a unique atmosphere that cannot be experienced during regular weekdays. Through the special guided program "Night, Light," the museum will showcase the beauty of various forms of light.

Hands-on programs are also available. Participants can create their own lanterns, tiger-shaped felt dolls, and string bookmarks, all of which are currently on display in the storage facility. Registration for these activities will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis through the Paju Hall website starting at 9 a.m. on September 15.

Self-guided programs such as "Moonlight Scratch Paper," "Colorful Foil Art," and the "Nighttime Study Reading Zone" are open to all visitors without prior registration.

A "Moonlight Garden" will also be set up in the outdoor lawn area of Paju Hall. Visitors can take memorable photos in front of vibrant lights that resemble the moon and stars descending from the night sky. Souvenirs will be provided to participants. Those who take part in four or more activities, including the pre-registered hands-on programs, can receive a souvenir at the event’s information booth.
