On May 7, Samcheok City, Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province (Mayor Park Sangsoo) announced that it will hold the special exhibition "Immortal Painter Van Gogh Replica Exhibition" at Exhibition Halls 1 to 3 of the Samcheok Culture and Arts Center for 34 days, from June 10 to July 13. This exhibition has been organized to commemorate the 60th Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province Citizens' Sports Festival and the 18th Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province Disabled Sports Festival.
This exhibition will showcase approximately 70 replica works by Vincent van Gogh, the Dutch Post-Impressionist painter who is regarded as one of the greatest artists in Western art history and who had a profound influence on 20th-century art.
The exhibition is structured into five sections that chronicle the life of Vincent van Gogh: his early years as a painter of peasants, his training period in Paris, his time living in southern France, his stay at the asylum in Saint-Remy, and his life in the village of Auvers-sur-Oise.
A variety of hands-on programs will be available for visitors to participate in, including making Van Gogh's room stickers, experiencing oil painting by touch, coloring Van Gogh's works, and trying out a magic cube activity.
Additionally, docent-led on-site explanations and audio guides available via smartphone app will be provided to enhance the appreciation of the artworks.
Admission is free. The exhibition is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., with the last entry at 5 p.m., and is closed every Monday.
