A Blend of Experience, Performances, and Nightscapes at "Palace of Light, Wolseong"

The National Gyeongju Research Institute of Cultural Heritage, under the National Research Institute of Cultural Heritage, will be hosting the event "Palace of Light, Wolseong" for two days starting from September 18, 2026, on the north side of Woljeonggyo in Gyeongju. The event will feature experiential activities, performances, and a nighttime program, all centered on the Silla royal palace Wolseong.

This event has been held annually since 2016 to share the achievements of the Wolseong archaeological excavation with the public. This year, the event will newly feature the "Wolseong Time Machine," which showcases the journey and excavation achievements from the past ten years at a glance.

Total experience programs include "Making a Sandbag," which allows visitors to experience an excavation site; the card game "Dispatch! Silla Excavation Team"; "Making a Moonlight Lamp," where a moon-shaped light is created; and "Making a Wappen Pouch," which utilizes characters based on artifacts unearthed from Wolseong. A guided tour titled "Wolseong Exploration," where participants can walk through the actual excavation site accompanied by expert commentary, is also available.

The performance program is also diverse. During the day, there will be magic shows, bubble performances, ventriloquism, and puppet shows. At night, visitors can enjoy ocarina performances, acoustic guitar busking, and popera choir. Additionally, a media percussion performance featuring large-scale video and audio will be presented.
