Journey into the Seven Jeweled Mountain, surrounded by vivid animation inspired by a 19th-century folding screen that illustrates the mountain’s striking scenery. Just outside the immersive experience see the artwork it is inspired by, on view exclusively at the Cleveland Museum of Art.
Named Seven Jeweled Mountain from a local legend claiming seven different kinds of jewels—gold, silver, pearls, coral, seashells, agate, and crystal—were buried in there, this natural wonder gained popularity after Im Hyeong-soo (1514–1547) published a detailed travelogue about his hiking experience. The journey’s dynamic atmospheric changes, unique geological features, and breathtaking vistas offer a rare opportunity to discover a place beyond reach.
Visitors are encouraged to relax in the exhibition space, immersed in the mountain’s sublime sights and sounds, amid a soundtrack by the globally acclaimed composer Yang Bang-ean as the 10-minute experience washes over them.
