Suwon Museum Collects and Publishes Photos from the 1980s. Photo is an Informational Poster.

Applicants can download the application form from the Suwon Museum website notice board and submit it either online (via Naver Form) or in person.

A Suwon Museum official stated, "Photos from the 1980s vividly capture citizens living through a period of rapid change and moments that symbolize a turbulent era. It was a golden age of sports with the 1986 Asian Games and the 1988 Olympics, and the people achieved democratization by resisting dictatorship."

The official added, "It was also a cultural heyday, with new leisure activities emerging thanks to the advancement of TV and the film industry. Through this photo collection, we hope to revisit memories of that era and experience the atmosphere of the 1980s once again."
