The Hallasan National Park Office of the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province World Heritage Headquarters announced that the Hallasan National Park Mountain Museum will be closed from December 2 until June 18 of next year to improve its exhibition environment.

The museum exhibition environment improvement project, with a total budget of 2.6 billion won, will completely reorganize the space and introduce new exhibition content, refurbishing both the permanent and special exhibition halls. The project will also expand interactive exhibits and media art, focusing on creating an environment that all visitors can enjoy.

From December, the museum will begin dismantling existing exhibitions and preparing for the renovation, with construction set to start in January next year. The goal is to reopen in June.

Since its opening in 2015, the Mountain Museum has continued to attract visitors by showcasing the history of Hallasan mountaineering and exhibitions related to Jeju mountaineers.

Ko Jongseok, Director of the World Heritage Headquarters, stated, "Through the improvement of the exhibition environment, we will enhance visitor convenience and strengthen interactive content." He added, "We will further activate exhibition and educational programs to develop the Mountain Museum in new ways."
