Various historical and cultural education programs focusing on the Joseon Dynasty and the Korean Empire are being organized at major palaces in South Korea.

In Seocho-gu, the Yangjae Library is launching a humanities program titled ‘Reading the Life and Power of Joseon through Palaces’. Running from September to November, the initiative combines academic lectures with field visits to Gyeongbokgung and Changdeokgung palaces to explore royal authority, diplomacy, and the lives of officials and commoners.
