Korea’s First Museum Composed Entirely of Digital Content—Without Physical Artifacts

The Traditional Cultural Contents Museum is Korea’s first museum to be filled exclusively with digital content—so-called "digital artifacts"—without any physical relics. Using CT, a next-generation growth engine, traditional Korean culture is recreated with a modern sensibility. Visitors can see, feel, and experience the inner values, lifestyles, and philosophies of the past—elements that are often missing from conventional museum displays, written descriptions, and illustrations.

Through RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) cards, the museum offers personalized services, realizing a tailored exhibition, tour, and guidance system. Going beyond the passive viewing of physical objects, the museum invites visitors to truly engage with Korea’s traditional culture and spirit. As a place filled with stories—both inherited and newly created—it presents a new standard for digital museum exhibitions. Inside, visitors can explore a variety of interactive programs, including:
- "Click: Sounds of the Past," where traditional folk songs, funeral chants, and the warm dialect of Andong can be heard
- "Virtual Artifact Experience," offering digital recreations of artifacts from Dosan Seowon, Taesa Temple, and Hahoe Village
