Busan National Science Museum to Hold Three Nighttime Programs

Family Activities: Building Structures and Making Cookie Houses

Adults Can Make Stools and Attend a Talk on Organizing Spaces

The night at Busan National Science Museum will be different.

The museum will open in the evening and offer hands-on programs centered on architecture. Families will build architectural structures, while adults will make their own stools, experiencing science and space through the event.

Busan National Science Museum (Director Song Samjong) announced on November 12 that it will hold three nighttime events, called “Science at Night,” on November 21 and 28 and December 5, in connection with its special exhibition “Build Up Project.” All programs will begin at 6 p.m.

On November 21 and 28, the museum will host the “Build Up Family Challenge” for families. After viewing the exhibition, participants will use straws, toothpicks, clay and other materials to build architectural structures such as geodesic domes and trusses, and will also make cookie houses. Each session will accommodate 200 people, for a total of 400 participants.

On December 5, the museum will hold “Step Up My Space” for adults aged 19 and older. Participants will make their own stools using engraving and color. Jung Heesook, a professional space organizer, will give a talk on how to organize homes and rooms efficiently and offer advice on participants’ concerns about their spaces. The program will accept 100 participants.

Architecture-related talks and hands-on activities will also be held. At 2 p.m. on November 28, architect Go Seongho will give a talk titled “How Does a Story Become a Space?” in the museum’s main conference hall. Drawing on examples of spatial planning at Chilamsagye and Seongrim Ranch, he will discuss architects’ philosophies and the meaning of space.

A hands-on program where participants explore architects’ works and philosophies and build a house themselves will be held every weekend through December 20.
