Exploring Gyeongbokgung Palace While Listening to Sign Language Commentary

Cultural Exploration Tour for the Hearing Impaired Hosted by the Cultural Heritage Administration Headquarters on the 8th

The Cultural Heritage Administration's Palace and Royal Tombs Headquarters announced on the 4th that it will hold a cultural exploration event on the 8th, inviting twenty hearing-impaired individuals in collaboration with the Seodaemun-gu Deaf Welfare Center to tour Gyeongbokgung Palace. This is a customized program designed to help participants learn about the history and culture of Gyeongbokgung Palace. Participants will visit Geunjeongjeon, Gangnyeongjeon, Gyotaejeon, and other sites with the palace guides and sign language interpreters from the welfare center, allowing them to understand the palace's history and culture through sign language explanations. They will also have the opportunity to access Gyeonghoeru, which is usually restricted. Gyeonghoeru is a pavilion where banquets were held during national celebrations or when foreign envoys visited. It is the largest single-floor structure in Korea. Participants can also experience exhibitions at Geoncheonggung, a space that recreates royal court life. This was the residence of King Gojong and Empress Myeongseong from 1885 to 1896. The event requires prior registration and admission is free of charge.
