230th Anniversary of King Jeongjo's Suwon Procession...Recreated with Immersive Digital Technology

Special Exhibition at Suwon Hwaseong Museum Until December
King Jeongjo's Eight-Day Journey Presented as a Photo Album

The Gyeonggi Content Agency announced on September 24 that it will hold a special exhibition at the Suwon Hwaseong Museum until December 14, recreating King Jeongjo's 1795 royal procession to Suwon. The journey, undertaken by King Jeongjo to celebrate the 60th birthday of his mother, Lady Hyegyeong Hong, is brought to life through immersive digital content.

The main feature of the exhibition is an immersive video. The journey of King Jeongjo is presented in the form of a photo album, allowing visitors to follow historical records and experience the events firsthand. A museum official explained, "We focused on moving beyond traditional artifact displays to vividly convey historical moments through digital technology."

The exhibition is organized into four themes. "The Joyful Suwon Procession" showcases the new city designed by King Jeongjo and the royal procession itself. "The Filial Banquet for All" covers the grand banquet and the royal seals and honorific titles prepared for Lady Hyegyeong Hong. "The Eternal Record of a Special Journey" introduces the "Wonhaeng Eulmyo Jeongni Uigwe," which documents the entire procession, along with a portrait of Chae Jegong. "Memories of the Eight-Day Filial Journey" offers visitors an interactive digital content experience.

King Jeongjo's procession to Suwon is regarded as a historical event that demonstrated the king's filial piety and the spirit of "Yeomindongnak," in which the monarch and the people shared joy together. In commemoration, the city of Suwon holds the Suwon Hwaseong Cultural Festival every year.
