For parents in Sejong looking for a deep and meaningful experience with their children, the National Sejong Children's Museum(국립세종어린이박물관) has unveiled a beautiful new special exhibition: "Curious Heart". Replacing the previous Earth Village Playground, this exhibit focuses entirely on the invisible world of emotions. Running from November 2025 until August 2027, this interactive space encourages children to identify, express, and share their feelings through play. From choosing a door based on their mood to engaging in "heart conversations" with parents, it is a rare educational venue that prioritizes emotional intelligence and honest connection in the heart of Sejong.
Interactive Zones of the Heart
The exhibition is divided into several thematic zones, each designed to trigger a different emotional response or reflection.
- Hello, Heart!: Children record messages to themselves or loved ones, which then float visually across the walls and floors.
- Heart Conversations: A cozy sofa where parents and children place hands together to activate deep, honest questions like, "Do you ever want time alone?"
- I Can Do It!: A challenge zone disguised as a slide where encouragement transforms simple play into a lesson in courage.
- Invisible Heart Pieces: A soothing sand-play area that helps both children and parents find comfort through tactile expression.
Lessons in Empathy and Comfort
The journey through the exhibition ends at the "Comforting Sadness" zone. Here, children learn the essential social skill of how to approach and comfort a friend who is feeling down, ensuring they leave not just with memories of fun, but with a deeper understanding of empathy.
