What to Do During the Golden Holiday?... National Busan Science Museum Offers Folk Games and Science Experiences at "Colorful Chuseok"

Games Blending Tradition and Science
Hands-on Activities and Movie Screenings Abound

What should you do during the Chuseok golden holiday?

The National Busan Science Museum (Director Song Samjong) has prepared a special gift bundle for Chuseok, offering opportunities to experience folk games that blend tradition and science.

On September 24, the museum announced that it will host a variety of programs under the theme "Colorful Chuseok" from October 3 to October 9. This event will provide hands-on experiences combining traditional culture and science in five themed spaces, each inspired by one of the five traditional colors (blue, yellow, white, black, and red).

In "Blue: Traditional Game Maru," visitors can enjoy folk games such as jegichagi, ttakji-chigi, yutnori, and tuho, and receive souvenirs by completing missions that teach the scientific principles behind the games. In "Yellow: Chuseok Atelier," participants can make spinning tops, songpyeon-shaped soap, and traditional lanterns. "White: Movie Theater" will screen the animations "Elemental" and "WALL-E."

At the large floor media installation at the rear entrance of the Saessaknuri Hall, the "Black: Media Yard" offers an interactive game experience that can be enjoyed with your whole body. In "Red: Wishing Tree Area," families can participate in a program where they write wishes for their family's well-being on notes and hang them on a tree.

The event will be held every day during the Chuseok holiday period, except for Chuseok Day itself, which falls on the 6th, when the museum will be closed. Some programs require advance reservations through Naver.

Director Song Samjong said, "We have prepared a variety of experiences for the whole family to enjoy together during the Chuseok holiday," adding, "We hope you create special holiday memories at the Science Museum."
