About
The Yeosu National Heritage Media Art Festival is a nighttime cultural event that presents Yeosu’s national heritages through media art. Under the theme “Jinnamgwan: Rebuilt with Light,” the event will be held from October 9 to November 8, 2026, in the areas surrounding Jinnamgwan Guesthouse, Gosodae Command Post, and Yi Sunsin Plaza. Based on the historical background and spatial characteristics of key locations, the event uses video and light to depict the War Diary of Yi Sunsin, Admiral Yi Sunsin’s spirit of compassion for the people, and the voyages of the Turtle Ship. The event consists of media art exhibitions featuring the architecture of Jinnamgwan Guesthouse, the stele pavilion and protected trees at the Gosodae Command Post, and the Turtle Ship at Yi Sunsin Plaza. It also offers programs that combine viewing and hands-on experiences, such as an AI metahuman portrayal of Admiral Yi Sunsin, interactive content using visitor photos, and a stamp tour. The stamp tour involves visiting Jinnamgwan Guesthouse, Tarubi Monument, and the Turtle Ship, and on weekends during the event, experiential programs and a flea market will also be held.
