Evidence showing a side of Deoksugung Palace that was destroyed by the Japanese
Temporarily opened as a cultural space such as an exhibition hall before demolition
The ‘former Chosun Savings Bank executive residence’ inside Deoksugung Seonwonjeon is being transformed into a cultural space where exhibitions and academic conferences are held.
The Seonwonjeon area consists of the Seonwonjeon, where portraits of past kings were kept and ancestral rites were performed, as well as the Heungdeokjeon and Heungbokjeon areas. It was recognized as an independent space, so much so that it was called the “Yeongseongmun Palace” after the name of the Yeongseongmun Gate built in the Seonwonjeon area.
Since 1919, the Japanese have been demolishing the palace and using it for other purposes, such as religious facilities, and its historical significance as a palace has disappeared. The residence is evidence of a part of Deoksugung Palace that was destroyed at the time.
The National Heritage Administration’s Royal Tombs Headquarters will hold an academic conference on the topic of “Sustainable Cities and the Role of Historical Heritage” here on the 30th. From August 1st to 31st, a special exhibition titled “The Painting Tree, Deoksugung Palace… ” will be held.
The National Heritage Administration plans to demolish the residence in the future according to the restoration plan for the Seonwonjeon area.
The National Heritage Administration said, “We wanted to take this opportunity to temporarily open it as a cultural space for citizens before demolition and actively utilize it as a place where they can feel the meaning and value of the restoration of Deoksugung Palace.”
The conference will reaffirm the significance of the restoration of Deoksugung Palace and the importance of the city’s national heritage, and discuss architecture, urbanism, and landscape architecture from a macro-ecosystem perspective.
At the conference, experts in various fields such as landscape architecture, architecture, and ecology will present on seven topics: ▲Historical heritage in cities, preservation and utilization value ▲Why do we restore Joseon palaces? ▲Vegetation landscape of palaces and Joseon royal tombs created by landscape architecture ▲When and why did that tree grow there? ▲Urban identity and ecology from the perspective of earth law ▲Architectural landscape, is a sustainable city possible?
The special exhibition was planned to look back on the historical significance and value of Seonwonjeon, focusing on the painting tree that has been there for hundreds of years. This exhibition will present the painting tree works reinterpreted by photographer Lee Myeong-ho, the public relations ambassador of the Royal Tombs Headquarters.
Special exhibitions can be viewed for free without prior reservation during the exhibition period.
