Discover the Sound Experience at the Uruk Museum in Gyeongbuk
Are you looking for the perfect indoor travel destination in Gyeongbuk that offers a creative playground for children and emotional healing for adults?
Introducing the 'Sound Experience Hall' at the Uruk Museum in Goryeong, the birthplace of the Gayageum.
This space goes beyond a simple exhibition area; it is a sensory experience where sound, light, and movement come together.
As you enter the quiet village along Gayageum Road in Daegaya-eup, you will be captivated by the sleek modern building next to the Uruk Museum.
This is the Sound Experience Hall themed around sound.
Starting from May 12, admission will be charged.
The entrance fee after May 12 will be 5,000 KRW for adults and 4,000 KRW for students and preschoolers, but you will receive a refund of 3,000 KRW in the form of a local gift certificate, making it a minimal burden. Admission is free for Goryeong residents, infants, and seniors.
Upon entering, the first area you encounter is the 'Instrument Yard', where you can see the sounds of the world at a glance.
Previously, I could only read about instruments in books, but here, I can see the materials that make up the instruments and hear their sounds, which is much better. Experiencing it with all my senses makes the unfamiliar names of instruments stick in my memory.
The highlight of this place is the automatic grand piano that plays beautiful melodies by moving its keys on its own. The emotional classical music reminiscent of the drama 'Winter Sonata' stops you in your tracks and invites deep meditation.
You can listen to the unique timbres of each instrument through provided headsets. This makes it an invaluable educational opportunity for children, as they can see and hear the instruments they have only read about in books.
Going downstairs, you will be immersed in a feast of media art.
The video themed 'Twelve Strings, Twelve Months' unfolds the story of Uruk and the Gayageum in a fantastical visual style.
The scenes of the Paulownia tree growing and the changing seasons against the backdrop of the Jisan-dong tombs are truly awe-inspiring.
The realistic video, which even depicts raindrops falling on the ground, creates an illusion of being in another dimension.
This dark space filled with mysterious lights is an interactive art space where you can communicate through touch.
Simply touching the light bulbs with your fingertips will turn them on and produce sound.
You can experience the 'resonance' that connects tradition, modernity, and people through both sight and sound.
The 'Playground' is where children can unleash their energy. It is the most popular area for kids, so be sure to reserve online as the number of users is limited at certain times.
This space is designated for preschool children aged 3 and older, where jumping, shaking, and tapping become music.
For safety, adult supervision is mandatory, but adults should only observe the children playing safely.
Please remember to bring socks as shoes must be removed in this area.
The Sound Yard is also a special space where you can feel the sounds of daily life and musical instruments throughout your body.
Especially, the digital string instruments that can be played by touch without actual strings stimulate children's curiosity and allow for physical activity by stepping on arrows leading down to the play area.
While weekday visits are easy, weekend visits require advance online reservations. Be sure to select your date and time in advance to avoid disappointment!
Enjoy a pleasant indoor experience with your children, stamping musical instruments and joyfully playing while relishing the joy of sound.
This place, where the traditional sounds of the Gayageum coexist with modern media art, is highly recommended as a family getaway this weekend, free from worries about fine dust.
