Busan Marine Natural History Museum is preparing a talk about the methods and meaning of creating natural-history specimens. In the institution's notice published by Busan City on October 29, 2026, the seminar, provisionally titled 'Records of Life: Understanding and Making Taxidermy', is scheduled for Monday, November 30 from 13:00 to 15:00 in the seminar room on Level 2 of Museum Building 1. It is aimed at interested members of the public as well as researchers, with a stated capacity of 50 people.
The speaker is Oh Jeong-woo, a taxidermist at the Natural Monument Center. The official running order assigns 13:00–13:10 to opening remarks and introductions, 13:10–14:50 to the lecture and 14:50–15:00 to questions. The advertised title is marked provisional in the notice and may change, so use the actual programme announcement for the final name.
Registration is scheduled from Monday, November 2 to Friday, November 27. The operator mentions applications through the museum website and on-site registration on the day, but that does not guarantee that any of the 50 places will remain available for walk-ins. Check the current application instructions, or call the exhibitions team on 051-550-8825 before making the trip.
There is an unusually important visiting restriction: November 30 is a normal museum closure day. Only the seminar can be attended; regular museum exhibitions will not be open. The notice also says there is no on-site museum parking, so visitors should use a nearby public parking lot. It does not clearly state a participation fee, transit route or real-time availability, and none is assumed.
