This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the planning and implementation process of the 'Kim Hong Shin Literary Museum,' which is based on literary arts. Opened in 2019, the museum offers a multi-faceted interpretation of the life and works of the author Kim Hong Shin through the re-creation of various art genres, presenting these in an immersive exhibition format. The research is structured into three major parts: 1) theoretical discussion on the visualization of literary works and creative exhibition planning, 2) analysis of the planning objectives, design process, and actual outcomes of the Kim Hong Shin Literary Museum, and 3) identification of key components of creative exhibition planning based on the features of the museum. Through this investigation, the primary elements of creative exhibition planning have been identified as identity, thematic focus, integrity, organicity, spatiality, consistency, symbolism, uniqueness, differentiation, sustainability, flexibility, artistic collaboration, re-creation, plurality, diversity, sensory experience, integration, transition, expansion, synthesis, three-dimensionality, multi-facetedness, layering, interaction, community, originality, monumentalism, locality, and evocation. These elements are applicable to other exhibition planning contexts as well. The findings of the study also suggest that the literary museum can go beyond simple text-based representation to become a comprehensive treasury of cultural arts, reconstituted through interactions with various art genres and mediums, local characteristics, the individual experiences of the author, and invisible social, political, and historical contexts. Additionally, the role that science can play in the fusion and transition between different art forms was also confirmed.
