This exhibition is designed as an educational event, allowing children and families to easily and enjoyably experience the diverse colors of insects and the ecological significance behind them. The program aims to go beyond simple viewing, focusing on enhancing understanding of nature and life.

Meanwhile, "The Beauty of Insects - Color Recharge" stands out for its focus on the functional roles of insect colors.

The exhibition will provide intuitive explanations through various displays and content about how insect colors—such as protective coloration, warning coloration, and camouflage—are linked to survival.

During the exhibition period, an ecological class program with professional breeders will be held every Saturday. Children participating in the class will receive a jewel beetle badge as a gift.

Additionally, a docent-guided tour program will be offered daily to help visitors gain a deeper understanding of insects and animals, enabling everyone to experience the exhibition more profoundly.

On Children's Day, May 5, a special event will be held for visiting children, where an experience kit related to the "Color Recharge" exhibition will be given as a gift.

This kit is designed so that children can decorate and express insects using colors themselves, allowing them to enjoyably experience the exhibition's theme through a unique program.

On the museum's outdoor terrace, a Drawing Wall for insect art will be available, where children can freely participate. In this space, friends can color and decorate various insects, expressing their creativity through hands-on activities.

However, please note that this program will not be available in case of rain due to the nature of the outdoor space.

A Yangju City official stated, "The colors of insects go beyond simple beauty and embody the survival strategies of nature. We hope this exhibition will serve as an opportunity for children to view nature from a new perspective and foster ecological sensitivity."
