A centenary conference

The National Hangeul Museum is organizing 'Hangeul Written in Dots, Becoming a Record' on Wednesday, November 4, 2026 to mark 100 years since the introduction of Hunmaengjeongeum, Korean Braille. The script was developed by Park Du-seong in 1926. The event is a chance to reflect on accessible writing, literacy and recorded cultural heritage. It is held at the auditorium of Seoul National School for the Blind, Yongsan Campus, not at the National Hangeul Museum building (currently closed for construction).

On the day

The poster on the National Hangeul Museum's official homepage gives November 4, 10:00–12:30. The separate registration text does not repeat this time, so confirm the final schedule, building entry and any accessibility arrangements with the organizers before setting out.

The centenary offers a perspective on Korean writing as something that can also be read through touch rather than sight alone.
