What you can expect

  • Step into the heart of Korean culture at the National Gugak Centre, the nation's premier institution dedicated to preserving and promoting traditional performing arts. Every Saturday, the historic Umyeondang Hall transforms into a vibrant stage where centuries-old traditions meet contemporary excellence.

Watch mesmerising performances that range from joyful folk songs to elegant court dances, including works officially recognised on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage List.

This traditional architectural feature fills the entire space with the rich, authentic tones of Korean instruments, creating an intimate connection between performers and audience.
