National Palace Museum, Online Quiz 'Wishing for Well-being'... April Theme is 'Sipjangsaengdo'

[Asia Economy Reporter Seomideum] The Cultural Heritage Administration's National Palace Museum will hold an online quiz event titled "Wishing for Well-being" on its social media platforms (SNS·Instagram) from the 15th to the 22nd.


The National Palace Museum selects and introduces a "Curator's Recommended Royal Artifact" every month to widely promote royal relics to the public. This online event is a quiz themed around the royal artifact selected in April, the court painting "Sipjangsaengdo (十長生圖)" which expresses wishes for health and longevity. Sipjangsaengdo (十長生圖) is a painting featuring natural elements symbolizing longevity and auspiciousness such as the sun, clouds, mountains, turtles, cranes, and peaches. It was used as a folding screen placed behind important figures like queens or crown princes during court ceremonies and was also painted on the palace's interior windows and doors.


To participate, simply write the answer to the quiz about Sipjangsaengdo (十長生圖) posted on Instagram in the comments. The museum will draw 200 winners from the correct answers and award them a cup illustrated with the theme of Sipjangsaengdo (十長生圖). For more details about the event, please check the National Palace Museum’s website and official Instagram or contact them by phone.


Currently, due to facility improvement construction, access to each floor of the museum is restricted. Because of this, the April "Curator's Recommended Royal Artifact," Sipjangsaengdo, will be on display from the 24th in the basement "Royal Ceremony Room." For visitors who cannot view the exhibit in person, explanatory videos with Korean and English subtitles are provided on the National Palace Museum’s website and YouTube channel.


The Cultural Heritage Administration's National Palace Museum stated, "We will continue to strive to introduce royal artifacts in various ways and provide opportunities for better understanding."
