Exploring the History and Culture of Suwon Museum
On a warm spring day,
I visited the Suwon Museum,
where you can explore the history and culture of Suwon at a glance.
With galleries for history, calligraphy, outdoor exhibitions, and a children's experience room,
it's a great family outing destination.
Recently, a special exhibition has opened,
and I went to see what it was all about.
The special exhibition titled “Suwon in the 1980s: That Year, We” is like flipping through an old photo album,
calmly unraveling the warm memories of Suwon in the 1980s.
Starting with the old look of Suwon Station Rotary,
the exhibition is divided into three parts.
As you follow through each space,
you embark on a time travel back to Suwon of that era.
In Part 1, “That Year, Suwon Landscape,” you can encounter photographs showing the old Suwon,
which was undergoing rapid changes in the 1980s.
From the parade celebrating the opening of Jangan-gu and Gwonseon-gu in July 1988,
with the Seoul Olympic mascot ‘Hodori,’
to bustling scenes of Yeongdong Market showcasing the vibrant daily lives of citizens,
the exhibition captures the essence of Suwon's economic transformation.
Part 2, “That Year, Suwon People,” focuses on the stories of the people who shaped the city's history.
It vividly reflects the solidarity and community memories of citizens amidst various events.
Finally, Part 3, “The Colorful Records of Suwon People,” showcases photos collected by citizens,
revealing the warmth of their everyday lives.
Additionally, there is a photo zone where visitors can capture their own memories.
If you're interested in delving deeper into Suwon's past,
the second-floor history gallery is recommended,
where the alleys of 1960s Suwon are recreated.
The gallery features a variety of historical artifacts and records,
allowing for a rich exploration of the city's development.
As May approaches, a perfect time for family outings,
consider visiting the Suwon Museum to experience a journey through the 1960s alleys and 1980s streets.
The exhibition runs until August 26.
