IN 1395, at the heart of Joseon (present day Seoul), rose a monumental mansion named the Gyeongbokgung Palace. A sacred ground made home for a king, it was also a haven where many scholarly activities took place, contributing to developments in science, literature, architecture, and art.
This includes the creation of the Korean alphabet Hangul as well as the advancement of astronomy throughout Korean history.
Over the course of history, Gyeongbokgung Palace overcame conflicts and stood tall, marking the majestic palace as a symbol of resilience and the embodiment of Korea’s flamboyant culture in both the past and present day.
