In the artworks, students expressed their impressions through paintings after seeing and touching animal taxidermy specimens such as the Whooper Swan, Siberian Roe Deer, and Korean Goral, engaging all five senses. In addition, activities were held where students used AI (artificial intelligence) technology to imagine various creatures taking on different professions and brought these imaginative ideas to life as real artworks.

Ki Hyuk, head of the World Heritage Division, stated, "This exhibition will be an opportunity to share the creative capabilities of students in special education classes with the public and to increase positive attention towards the artistic activities of socially marginalized groups. In the future, we plan to continue organizing special exhibitions for diverse groups at the Hwanghae Exchange Museum in Aphae-eup and the Shinan Native Plant Museum in Jaeun-myeon."

The county plans to continue exhibitions and cultural events that enable various groups within the region to communicate and participate through culture and the arts.
