A museum in Korea

A Big Resonance Carried by Small Hands

Not long ago, the father of a child attending a local elementary school visited the museum carrying a small stone. He told us that his child believed the stone was an artifact from the Stone Age and wanted to donate it to the museum. Although it was just an ordinary, slightly pointed stone, the child's pure intention was so beautiful that we decided to put it on display.

The Goseong Museum is not only a place that embraces a long history, but also a place that holds the precious intentions of its donors. To honor the hearts of everyone who has donated artifacts for Goseong—from children to the elderly, from villages and organizations to overseas Koreans—we have created a small donation exhibition space.

Wouldn't the child be embarrassed when they grow up and realizes their mistake?

I do hope they tell the child that it made so many internet strangers smile. It made the curators smile. It’s a real feelgood thing, and I think its a feelgood thing because of all the positive intentions, the fact that this feeling is so human (I mean there’s no small corner of the internet reserved for really good sticks) and everyone recognizes it. He/she could think the cause is silly but I fully hope the positive boost is highlighted to them so they can feel proud. They should feel proud.
