Special Exhibition of the Lee Kun-hee Collection, Explained by Robots

National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, National Theater, and Korean Film Museum 'Q.I' Service

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Culture Information Service Agency announced on the 24th that the 'Q.I' service will begin on the 27th at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, the National Theater, and the Korean Film Museum. It is an AI chatbot and autonomous driving-based cultural interpretation robot. Since 2018, it has been deployed at major cultural facilities under the Ministry, such as the National Museum of Korea, the National Gugak Center, and the Asia Culture Center.

This version of Q.I has been significantly enhanced. It provides location guidance as well as multilingual (Korean, Chinese, Japanese, English) cultural interpretation services. It also features Korean sign language cultural interpretation, voice guidance with subtitles, and picture explanations. At the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, it offers dedicated interpretation for the 'Lee Kun-hee Collection Special Exhibition: Masterpieces of Korean Art.' At the National Theater, it guides visitors to their seats, and at the Korean Film Museum, it explains Korean films in multiple languages. An official stated, "Institutions were selected through a public contest," and added, "We plan to expand the introduction to ensure safe cultural experiences."
