The Seoul Museum of History is set to introduce a series of free summer programs for children starting on August 15. The exhibits, titled "In Hanyang Summer," will explore how Seoul residents kept cool without modern appliances, as well as traditional seasonal foods and activities from the era. Kids can create their own paper fans adorned with stickers after engaging with the exhibit panels.
No advance reservations are necessary, and free fan-making kits will be handed out to the first 1,000 visitors on program commencement.
An additional activity, "Santa's Summer Vacation," invites children to imagine Santa Claus spending his holiday in Korea. On August 15, visitors are encouraged to jot down their wishes on postcards or notes and attach them to a Christmas wish tree in the museum's lobby. Certain wishes may be fulfilled in a follow-up event, with further details announced on the museum's Instagram profile. The final program allows children to craft hats inspired by the Children's Museum.
