Busan Opens Korea's Only 'The Little Prince' Museum in Gamcheon Culture Village
Busan now hosts Korea's only permanent exhibition hall dedicated to 'The Little Prince.' The Little Prince House opened on March 18 in Gamcheon Culture Village, Saha-gu District, and welcomes visitors daily from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. (entry until 6 p.m.) — a must-see for literature lovers and families.

A gift for 140 years of Korea-France ties
The venue celebrates the classic 1943 novella by French writer Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1900-44). Marking the 140th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Korea and France, it is the country's first exhibition space themed on the character that is officially sponsored and approved by France's Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Youth Foundation.

Gamcheon Culture Village's transformation
The Gamcheon-dong neighborhood was formed by refugees during the Korean War (1950-53). Selected for a public art project in 2009, it has since grown into a celebrated culture and arts village. The rooftop Little Prince sculpture offers a panoramic view of the village, and Busan officials note that over three million tourists visited Gamcheon Culture Village last year.
