On-Site Video Commentary Services for the Visually Impaired at Palaces and Royal Tombs

From June 18, On-Site Experiences at the Four Major Palaces, Jongmyo Shrine, and Taereung

Hands-On Exploration of Floral Lattice Windows and Stone Figures

The Royal Palaces and Tombs Center of the Cultural Heritage Administration announced on June 11 that, starting from June 18, it will operate on-site video commentary services for the visually impaired at the four major palaces in Seoul, Jongmyo Shrine, and Taereung Royal Tomb.

On-site video commentary of royal tombs and palaces last year.

This is a guided program in which professional commentators provide detailed historical explanations and vivid visual descriptions. Participants can directly touch cultural heritage items, such as the floral-patterned wooden lattice windows of Injeongjeon Hall at Changdeokgung Palace and the stone figures at the burial mound of Taereung Royal Tomb, to experience them firsthand.

This service, which began in 2023 at the four major palaces, was expanded to Jongmyo Shrine in 2024 and to Taereung Royal Tomb last year. In the second half of this year, it will also be available at Seonjeongneung Royal Tombs.

All services are provided free of charge at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on weekdays. Up to four people, including the visually impaired participant and their companions, can join each session.
