You can easily access the data by using conditional search functions such as designated items, regions, eras and production years, and also can easily check information such as 3D scanned videos and web VR contents provided by Korea Heritage Service through services such as '3D Asset' and 'Theme Contents'.

Gyeongbokgung Palace 경복궁

Gyeongbokgung Palace, the main palace in the Joseon Dynasty, was built after King Taejo, founder of the Joseon Dynasty. He had the capital moved to Hanyang during the fourth year of his reign (1395). Its name, literally meaning “great fortune,” originated with a phrase of Sigyeong (Book of Songs), quoted by Jeong Do-jeon, an eminent scholar in the Joseon Dynasty: "I've already drunk and have been full with virtue, so I will help you get great fortune in my late year as a man of virtue.”

Gwanghwamun 광화문 [景福宮 光化門]

In 1395 (the 4th year of King Taejo’s reign), the palace was built to create Gyeongbokgung Palace. It was destroyed during the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592 (25th year of King Seonjo's reign), and Gwanghwamun was also built with the reconstruction of Gyeongbokgung Palace in 1865 (2nd year of King Gojong's reign).

During the Japanese colonial period, when the Joseon Government-General building was built in the Heungnyemun area of ​​Gyeongbokgung Palace, it was moved to the north of Geonchunmun Gate, the eastern gate of Gyeongbokgung Palace. It was blown up by bombing during the Korean War and the entire gate tower was destroyed.

Gwanghwamun, built of concrete, was demolished in 2006, and in 2010, Gwanghwamun was restored to its original location as it was when it was rebuilt during the reign of King Gojong.
