African Cultural Center to Mark 1st Anniversary

The African Cultural Center in Pocheon, Gyeonggi Province, will hold a special event on June 27 to celebrate its one-year anniversary, inviting experts on Africa such as African ambassadors and the public to the center.

“We will offer free admission for anyone on that day, and they will enjoy a variety of exhibits and African dance performances,’’ Tae Cheon-man, president of the center, told The Korea Times.

The center, which is the only African center in Korea, acts as a bridge between African and Korea with its museum, a dance performance hall, a shopping mall and a restaurant.

The museum is open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. everyday, and traditional African dance performances are held three times a day except Monday.
