Why go
Cheong Wa Dae, South Korea's former presidential residence, opened its grounds to the public and has since hosted media and video exhibitions inviting visitors to explore the history and symbolism of the Blue House. The display presents curated audiovisual content covering the site's architectural heritage, its role in Korean governance, and its transformation into a public cultural space. Set against the backdrop of Bugaksan mountain in central Seoul, the exhibition offers a rare opportunity to engage with a landmark that was off-limits to ordinary citizens for decades. Visitors can move through the grounds while experiencing immersive screen installations alongside the historic architecture.
