The National Palace Museum of Korea announced on March 18 that it has completely revamped its previous online museum into a virtual space called "Digital Palace." Instead of simply providing artifact information, the museum now offers three types of experiential digital content that allow visitors to participate and interact directly.

The flagship content, "Inside the Palace," presents both the interior and exterior of Geunjeongjeon Hall at Gyeongbokgung Palace through virtual reality (VR). It also showcases the study area where King Jeongjo conducted academic research in the rear garden of Changdeokgung Palace, along with related historical materials.

Targeting younger visitors, "Abbo Secret Expedition Team" uses museum characters to explain the types and production processes of royal seals from the Joseon Dynasty in an easy-to-understand way. "My Royal Researcher MBTI" is a game in the form of a psychological test, where participants select their preferred artifacts to find out which type of royal researcher matches them.
