This exhibition will run until July 5. It is a special exhibition organized to share the value of donated materials collected over the three years from 2022 to 2024 through the voluntary contributions of local donors.

During this period, a total of 31 donors contributed 1,620 valuable items. This is regarded as a meaningful achievement, as personal memories and traces of individual lives have been expanded into the history of the local community.

The exhibition features more than 100 carefully selected items with significant historical and academic value from the donated materials, including letters and documents of Joseon-era Confucian scholars, modern and contemporary historical records illustrating the turbulent times of the Japanese colonial period, and everyday objects reflecting the daily lives of the people of Goheung. Through this, visitors can gain an integrated view of Goheung’s academic traditions, anti-Japanese history, and the flow of everyday life.

Additionally, to help visitors better understand the exhibition, hands-on activities such as creating a personal time capsule and regular guided tours (three times a day) led by professional docents are offered, allowing visitors to deeply appreciate the value of sharing through donation.

In his welcome speech, Gong Youngmin, County Governor, said, “This exhibition is a significant event that demonstrates how the sharing spirit of each and every resident has come together to create a cultural asset that connects Goheung’s past, present, and future,” adding, “I hope that many residents will come and enjoy the exhibition together.”
