For this program, the Leeum Museum of Art will convert the exhibition hall into an educational space for the 'future generation' of teenagers and university students from 10 to 11 a.m. on weekdays. The program centers around two exhibitions currently held at the museum: Maurizio Cattelan's 'WE' and 'Joseon White Porcelain: The Gentleman’s Orientation.'
The Maurizio Cattelan 'WE' exhibition hall has been operating a free educational workshop for university (graduate) student groups from 10 to 11 a.m. since the 6th to the 30th of last month. After appreciating Maurizio Cattelan's works, participants exchange questions about the artworks. So far, a total of 400 university students and others have participated. This workshop does not simply involve viewing the artworks but provides time to find one’s own interpretation.
The 'University Group Educational Program' is conducted in the exhibition hall in a lecture format, where groups wishing to apply independently carry out lectures, discussion programs, and more within the exhibition space. Participants directly communicate with the artworks and experience the scene within the lecture, expanding their artistic experience autonomously through the program. So far, 69 groups and 2,186 participants have joined the university group program. Applications can be made on the Leeum Museum of Art website until the exhibition ends on July 16.
The 'Joseon White Porcelain, The Gentleman’s Orientation' exhibition operates a workbook group visit program for teenagers until the 28th. This program involves teenagers from 5th grade elementary to 3rd grade high school participating in the exhibition using a workbook. The workbook is composed of questions and explanations about key artworks along the exhibition route and is provided free of charge to participating groups. A 'Baekja Quest' space, where participants can play three types of board games based on the workbook content, adds fun to the experience. The program held on March 28 has so far attracted 90 groups and a total of 2,934 participants.
Goo Jeong-yeon, head of education at the Leeum Museum of Art, said, "We have created an experience where people can freely learn and communicate in an open atmosphere," adding, "We will continue to strive to provide opportunities for diverse learning and discussions mediated by art."
