The National Children's Museum of Korea will hold an opening ceremony to unveil its name tablet Tuesday. This is the first time a children's museum here has earned official status as a national institution.

The museum was initially created as part of the National Folk Museum of Korea in 2003 and quickly drew interest and popularity with curiosity-inspiring experiential exhibitions. The museum officially gained separate status in April.

The ceremony comes on the centennial of the establishment of Korea's first national museum.

``The launching of the National Children's Museum of Korea carries significance in that this year marks the 100th anniversary. We'll hold one or two special exhibitions that reflect children's interests and curiosity and establish a children's cultural information center to collect child-related resources,'' Park Ho-won, director of the museum, said.

That sounds really nice actually. Makes me wish I was a kid again. Or that I can steal my nephews for a couple of hours to check it out. I'm a sucker for those kind of things.

It's a GREAT idea to make a museum for children since so many museums (around the world)seem to be built for adults only. It's kids that need to learn from museums and it's kids that are most often taken to museums by teachers in large groups. That means kids are a target audience, too, and it's about time someone saw it that way.
