Jinju Museum Cultural Activities: make a small souvenir
Fold a Ppuljani paper cap or color a mirror keyring using images of heritage objects from The Museum of My Life exhibition. Visiting the exhibition first could help connect the printed motifs with the objects. This suggested sequence is not a guided package.
Join at the venue
The participation method is on-site. Do not read the website’s application counter as a reliable inventory of bookable places. An SNS participation event with souvenirs is also announced; check its conditions and remaining supplies at the booth rather than assuming a particular gift is guaranteed.
Museum hours are different
Outdoor activities are listed until 20:00, but regular museum opening ends at 18:00, with last entry at 17:30. Put indoor viewing first if you want both. Weekly closure rules and special-event operation are separate matters: check Monday and public-holiday notices before visiting. The event does not mean all galleries open late.
Plan the fortress visit
The museum is inside Jinjuseong. Its regular guide lists KRW 2,000 for an ordinary nonresident adult entering the fortress, but check festival-day access arrangements separately. No activity charge is explicitly listed in this announcement. For program questions call 055-740-0693. The organizer also advises that publicity photography and filming may take place; read the participation notice on arrival. Agree on a meeting point with companions before joining the wider festival crowds.
