Enter the world of 1828, when preparations were underway for a royal banquet at Yeongyeongdang in Changdeokgung.

Walk through Changdeokgung's Secret Garden with Crown Prince Hyomyeong and discover the beauty of Joseon court arts through royal court dance, dramatic reenactments, and media art.

The story is inspired by the royal banquet ceremony, or jinjakrye, that Hyomyeong prepared at Yeongyeongdang.

Built in 1405, Changdeokgung is one of Korea's most beautiful royal palaces, known for its harmony with nature.
