Hwangudan Exhibition

#OctoberTravelSupport #Museum
This exhibition conveys the significance of Hwangudan, the majestic space where kings offered sacrifices to heaven. The National Palace Museum of Korea vividly recreates the structure and rituals of the altar where kings performed rites to heaven during the late Joseon Dynasty and the Korean Empire. Symbolizing the harmony of the round heavens and the square earth, Hwangudan was a symbolic place demonstrating royal authority and the legitimacy of the nation. The exhibition features a scale model of the altar and ritual tools, allowing visitors to truly experience the grandeur of the time. It embodies Emperor Gojong's determination to personally offer sacrifices to heaven and usher in a new era. Within the quiet exhibition hall, the tension and sacredness of that era are quietly conveyed. This is a special space where visitors can imagine the heart of the king as he prayed to heaven.
