The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Creative Content Agency announced that the exhibition 'Tech-Driven Heritage: Evolving Great Heritage with New Technologies and Content' will run at the 'K-Culture Museum' in Incheon International Airport's Terminal 1 until July 28.

The 'K-Culture Museum' is an exhibition space that showcases South Korea's attractive cultural resources through new technology-integrated content.

The media facade on the exterior features 'From Nature,' which utilizes advanced artificial intelligence (AI) technology to reinterpret the beautiful landscapes of world heritage and natural heritage from a new perspective. The process of creating beautiful traditional crafts, such as ceramics, wooden furniture, hanbok, and metal crafts, is vividly expressed through particle effects, capturing the attention of visitors.

In Hall 1, 'Heritage in Bloom' captures the noble value of national heritage and the beauty of traditional culture, inspired by traditional Korean decorative painting and Gwanghwamun. Hall 2 showcases the first 'Digital Najeon Chilgi,' which digitally restores the unique black-and-white contrast and the shimmering reflections of mother-of-pearl that were difficult to express using traditional methods.

Halls 3 to 5 are filled with immersive content that allows visitors to experience historical moments of the Joseon royal family. Hall 3 features 'Joseon Royal Procession,' which recreates a scene from the 1795 royal procession of King Jeongjo, depicted in the eight-panel folding screen 'Hwaseong Haenghaengdo' through media art.

Halls 4 and 5, 'Immersive Uigwe: Royal Banquet' and 'Immersive Uigwe: Royal Wedding,' are based on the cultural heritage of Uigwe, a record of royal ceremonies from the Joseon era, presented as immersive content.

This exhibition will run until July 28 and is free for all domestic and international travelers using the airport.

The 'K-Culture Museum' is located on the east side of the basement level 1 of the Transportation Center at Incheon International Airport.

Meanwhile, K-Heritage is a brand and policy concept used to promote the value and appeal of South Korea's national heritage and traditional culture to the world.
