Cheonan Museum (천안 박물관 - part 2)

We stepped into the 3-story building and found some cool activities to do. 
Trying out the old antique car as if we're transported back to the early 20th Century Korea. 
Or...taking part in the interactive learning about the history. 
Scrapping or coloring some pictures from which we learned one or two about Cheonan history. 
Taking a rest at a nearby deserted cafe-like rest area. 
or..bumped into this 체험관 or interactive hall where kids could choose numerous activities they wanted to do during an average of 40 minute-activity.
Eyra decided to make an aquarium. It cost 5,000 Won. 
She meticulously put each sea creatures into a small plastic box before pouring some paraffin into it.... 
paraffin will make it look like the sea creatures were alive in the water! 
Yes..the first stage of paraffin and then we got to wait for it to dry up. 
This is how the paraffin was poured into the aquarium-to-be.
Eyra, of course, was attentively paying attention to every bit of details being exposed right in front of her eyes. 
The empty aquarium ...with no paraffin. 
And..this is how Eyra looked when she found out that..she could choose from various activities to do. 
What a treat, right, dear?
As for their Mom, she's trying to put on some masks. 
and as for Freya, she preferred to having a lantern decorated. 
Just like what she wanted it. 
Once they finished making their handicraft, they're putting on some of their favorite masks. 
and ..of course, the cats. 
and played along with them. 
Apparently, I was intrigued, too. 
Then, off we went out of the museum.... 
and ready to go back to Seoul.
And..one last picture at the gate of Cheonan Museum.
Did you have a great time, kids?
without question!

An Artistic Encounter @ Buk Seoul Museum of Arts (part 2)

Good Morning, Robot 굿모닐 로봇, Yep..that's the theme of the Children's Gallery at the Buk Seoul Museum of Arts. After taking Eyra to see the contemporary paintings which ....a bit overwhelming for her age, we found that there was another unique exhibition on display. It's about robot. But, unlike any other robots, they're simply art installation made of (un)imaginable stuffs around us...and made into robot-like features to be displayed for our eyes to behold. 
From the lobby, we need to go down the stairs to reach the Children's gallery. See the displays down there? Colorfully intricate, right? 
The picture DOES not do justice to the real excitement as we felt when we're there. But, at least that's what we saw. 
The exhibition is held since March until August 2014. It's a good alternative way to take the kids--I found out.^^ 
And another 'don't-throw-me-away-stuffs' featuring what could be sub-titled into 'eco-green conservationist agenda by utilizing the seemingly unused toys around us. 
These ones, too. 
Pretty unique, right?

An Artistic Encounter @ Buk Seoul Museum of Art (part 1)

It's Sunday and I got to go out--like any other Sundays we do. This time, it was only the two of us, me and Eyra. Her Mom and her sister were at home having a ladies-morning-gathering (^-^), so I just needed to 'escape' the commotion among them at home. I'd rather be going out somewhere..ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Long-story-->short, I was taking Eyra to a nearby museum (the newly opened one): it's Buk Seoul Museum of Art or 서울시립 북서울미술관. We encountered three colorfully painted geckos(?) or lizards (?) at the front yard of the museum leading to the entrance. 
It's free admission, for most part. And we just dashed ourselves into it without any prior knowledge as to what'd be encountering inside.  
Well, it turned out that there were painting exhibitions by numerous painters from Korea. Gee..I am sorry for taking this picture...I didn't know as to whether I was allowed to take pictures of the arts...but as my camera kept on clicking EVEN with the sound of the 'Click-clik-click'...not even the guards minded that. I was not reprimanded for what I'd been doing..so I guess..it was OK to take pictures. And so I did. 
It's 무재 (or untitled)...so I read. I could be wrong, though...since there were other paintings on the walls....
say..I kinda liked this one..I don't know...the white stripes on the front seem to be people marching. Are they chefs? hmm and the stack of books at the background? wait..is that books stacked or....is that king's throne? hmmm 
Anyway..we also had a chance to see the tools used by the painter himself when he created his masterpieces. Even a collection of his tools could be a colorful revelation of themselves. 
Now..about the painter, one of them ( yes..there are others, too)..but, the one I managed to take a snapshot at was...황창배 (Hwang Chang Bae) who turned out to be a remarkably famous judged from his works and achievements posted here.
Hmm, I guess I could learn one or two from my dash-in encounter to this museum.
What about Eyra? Did she enjoy it? hmm, not sure..but at least she learned something new.
