The Hangeul Experimental Project is an exhibition organized by the National Hangeul Museum in collaboration with artists from various fields to highlight the value of Hangeul as both an art and industrial content. This touring exhibition features 21 works, including visual design, furniture, crafts, fashion, and video, all centered on the theme of changes in modern Hangeul.

The exhibited works were created by artists who are currently active in the design and art scenes, based on artifacts from the National Hangeul Museum's collection. Visitors can explore various considerations regarding Hangeul orthography during the modern era, the elegance of Hangeul combinations and arrangements found in modern publications, and the beauty of Hangeul typefaces.

During the exhibition period, the "2025 Civic Courtyard Festival" will be held at the outdoor plaza of the Busan Citizens' Hall. This cultural and artistic event is designed to make art more accessible and enjoyable in everyday life, offering free performances of Korean traditional music, classical music, jazz, tango, and tap dance every Friday.

To expand opportunities for experiencing Hangeul culture, the National Hangeul Museum is holding touring exhibitions in seven regions, including Gongju, Gimpo, Gumi, Gangneung, and Busan. Currently, the "Today's Hangeul, Sejong's Hangeul" exhibition, linked to the Hangeul International Pre-Biennale, is being held at the Parkyeon Cultural Center in Sejong City. In addition, starting on September 23, the special exhibition "Can't Resist Dialects!" introducing the unique flavors of regional dialects from across the country will be held at the Seolmundae Halmang Exhibition Hall in Jeju Stone Park.
