A Special Exhibition to Begin 2026 in Ulsan

Although it did not begin exactly with the New Year of 2026, the Treasure Box of Ulsan Grandmothers exhibition is available from December 23, 2025, to June 28, 2026.

The exhibition takes place in the first-floor exhibition hall of the Ulsan City Museum and is open to all visitors free of charge.

Rather than focusing on rigid historical timelines, the exhibition highlights living culture through the warm memories and traditions passed down by local grandmothers.

Ulsan Rising Port and a Global Design Achievement

Before visiting the Treasure Box of Ulsan Grandmothers, there is exciting news worth sharing from the Ulsan City Museum.

The museum recently won the prestigious Red Dot Design Award in both trademark and communication design categories for its ongoing project, Ulsan Rising Port.

This recognition reflects the museum’s efforts to communicate Ulsan’s future through sensory design and storytelling, extending its role beyond a traditional exhibition space.

Experiencing Ulsan Through Urban Air Mobility

Ulsan Rising Port allows visitors to virtually experience urban air mobility using simulators connected to video content featuring major attractions in Ulsan.

Each ride lasts about 10 minutes and accommodates up to four people per session.

The operating hours are from 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM, with a lunch break between 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM.

Ticket prices are 10,000 KRW for adults and 5,000 KRW for children and youth.

Various discounts are available, including reduced rates for Ulsan residents, seniors, and families, with free admission for eligible national merit recipients.

From a Vision of the Future to Warm Memories of the Past

After experiencing the dynamic future portrayed at Ulsan Rising Port, I moved on to the Treasure Box of Ulsan Grandmothers exhibition.

While Ulsan Rising Port focuses on the city’s present and future, this exhibition gently turns attention toward everyday traditions and childhood memories.

The stories of kind local grandmothers serve as a bridge, connecting children and families with Ulsan’s living folklore.

Interactive Traditional Games for Families

The exhibition is designed to help children and families naturally engage with traditional games and folk culture.

Rather than observing from a distance, visitors are encouraged to participate and play.

Learning Cooperation Through Play

Key experiences include activities such as the Wind Artisan Awakening the Flames, inspired by traditional ironmaking, and Pulling the Rope with Strength, based on Maduhui.

These hands-on games encourage cooperation, consideration, and shared laughter.

Visitors can also enjoy familiar traditional games like jegichagi, yutnori, ball games, and rubber band play, rediscovering them from a fresh perspective.

Through these moments, the exhibition creates joyful memories that stay with families long after their visit.

Visitor Information and Surroundings

The Treasure Box of Ulsan Grandmothers exhibition is open from December 23, 2025, to June 28, 2026.

Ulsan City Museum operates from 9 AM to 6 PM and is closed every Monday, so checking closure days in advance is recommended.

The museum is located at 277 Duwang-ro, Nam-gu, Ulsan.

Surrounded by cultural and recreational spaces such as Ulsan Grand Park, it is an ideal place to continue your day after viewing the exhibition.

A Warm Way to Start the New Year

This exhibition offered an enjoyable time filled with laughter, play, and shared memories.

It felt especially meaningful to begin the year by reconnecting with traditions through such a gentle and family-friendly experience.

I hope you also enjoy a warm and memorable start to 2026 with your loved ones at the Ulsan City Museum.

Thank you.
