Performances The Great Legacy Meets Today

Since 2018, The Great Legacy Meets Today has been held regularly in the vicinity of the National Museum of Korea, where visitors can enjoy and experience both Korean intangible and tangible cultural heritages at the same time.
During two seasons, in spring (May to June) and autumn (September to October), our UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity Performance Series presents 40 diverse Korean traditional intangible cultural performances listed on UNESCO. Performances include Yeongsanjae (A Korean Buddhist ceremony), Jongmyojeryeak (the Music for Royal Ancestral Ritual in the Jongmyo Shrine), Pansori epic chant, and Namsadang Nori (Vagabond troupe's performances), adding on to the Korean traditional cultural experience programs, and children education programs.

Support Outstanding Performance Contest

We hold a creative performance artwork contest based on items listed on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Five works of art will be selected and offered a chance to perform again on “The Great Legacy Meets Today” stage.
