Tongyeong City in South Gyeongsang Province recently announced its plan to build a humble literature museum to commemorate the lifetime achievement of the late novelist Park Kyung-ni, a Tongyeong-native who passed away earlier this year in May.
The museum will be built over a 4,465㎡ land area. The building will consist of one underground floor and one ground floor and will be built in a rectangular shape. Honoring the humble spirit of the late novelist, the museum will be built in the simplest way possible with a minimum of decorations. A small vegetable garden will be made outside the museum.
The city said construction of the museum will begin in May next year. The site of the literature museum is near the late novelist's grave. A total of 2.6 million dollars will be spent to build related facilities including an exhibition hall, a theater, a library and maintenance office. The construction of the museum will be completed by June, 2010.
