Jeju Aerospace Museum — Attraction in Seogwipo-si

Introduction Instead of the regular one-way exhibition, we engage people with our interactive displays to help them experience and learn hands-on, rather than simply stand back and watch. We have upgraded the content of our exhibitions for maximum educational impact. We take full advantage of cutting-edge media, artifacts, models and large screens to add excitement, interest, and diversity.

Features Advice from the Smithsonian Institute Throughout the entire process from planning to designing the exhibition contents, we sought and received continued suggestions and reviews from the Smithsonian Institute as part of our mutual agreement (2008 - 2013) Advice on exhibition design, content, arrangement and installation List of artifacts, exhibition media and other data/materials

Exhibit Brief With the help of Mr. Von Hardesty, the curator of the Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum, and the US advisory team Eight exhibit narratives were prepared on the history of aviation, astronomy and space science (English, Korean). We are the first museum in South Korea to have exhibit briefs to plan, design and conduct exhibitions, thereby improving the story-telling flow and content quality.

※ The Smithsonian Institute - A US federal institution that runs some of the world’s largest museums. The complex consists of 19 national museums and 9 research centers. Some 25 million people visit the Smithsonian Institute to see a whopping 300 million artifacts. “How Things Fly” from the Smithsonian Institute Comprised of some 60 cutting-edge working models, “How Things Fly” helps visitors understand the principles behind the forces of flight.
