From a former air-raid shelter to a multiverse media art space
Wansan Bunker The Space
-
Wansan Bunker is an underground air-raid shelter constructed in 1973 as a military and police command facility in preparation for emergencies such as war.
With a total floor area of approximately 3,178㎡ and a length of about 280m, it features a unique tunnel-like structure resembling an anthill, where narrow, long corridors connect multiple rooms.
As the Jeonbuk State Government Office relocated to Hyoja-dong in 2005, the bunker lost its original function.
Afterward, it was used for purposes such as sweet potato storage before being completely closed in 2014.
To culturally regenerate this abandoned space, Jeonju City Hall conducted a precise safety diagnosis and promoted a space regeneration project.
As a result, Wansan Bunker has been reborn as "Wansan Bunker The Space," a media art exhibition space themed around the multiverse.
