The University Museum (Director Eun‑hee Kim) has been selected for the 'Museum Humanities on the Road' program, hosted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and organized by the Korean Museum Association, for the 10th consecutive year and will work to expand regional humanities education.

Through this program, the museum is running a program titled 'Open Pungnammun, to Jeonju Fortress!' to provide deeper understanding of local cultural heritage. This year, beginning on the 23rd with Jeonju Jayeon Elementary School and continuing through November, the museum will conduct experiential education for approximately 1,000 people, including 15 elementary classes and five middle-school classes for the free semester system.

The program will include sign-language interpretation in the exhibition halls and theoretical instruction on Jeonju Fortress. Visits to Pungnammun and Jeolla Gamyeong will provide participants with an opportunity to directly explore and reflect on what they have seen and heard.

In addition, by visiting the museum in person to assemble Pungnammun and complete a map of Jeonju Fortress, participants can investigate and experience the social, cultural, and historical contexts.

Eun‑hee Kim, Director of the University Museum at Jeonbuk National University (JBNU), said, 'The JBNU University Museum leads the spread of humanities education each year through the 'Museum Humanities on the Road' program and plays a central role in preserving and passing on regional history and culture. We will make further efforts to ensure that, through substantive experiential education, local youth can properly understand their regional identity and appreciate the value of the humanities.'
