Busan will host a rotating exhibition titled “Journey of the Moon: Busan Moon Jar” from January 26 to August 30, linking Dalmaji Park in Haeundae with the Busan Museum.

The project brings together a treasured Joseon-era white porcelain moon jar and a contemporary outdoor installation, “Re:moon (Hwanwol)”, by Busan-born artist Han Wonseok. By pairing a historic cultural artifact with modern public art, the exhibition highlights how traditional heritage can be reimagined through today’s creative lens.

The first stop is Dalmaji Park, where the outdoor exhibition “The Moon, A Park to Stay” runs from January 26 to March 31. Han’s large-scale work is designed to match the park’s moon-viewing identity and offers visitors a chance to experience art in an open, natural setting rather than inside a gallery.

“Re:moon” is shaped like a moon jar and built using around 600 recycled car headlights, carrying themes of restored light and natural cycles. The installation stands about 4 meters tall and was first introduced at the 2025 Seoul Lantern Festival, where it drew strong public attention.

At the Busan Museum, the Joseon moon jar will be featured in the permanent exhibition space, and the installation will return for a second outdoor showing from June 29 to August 30 in the museum’s garden area.

QR codes at the sites will help visitors follow the exhibition story across both locations.
