A VR murder mystery

Step into a VR murder mystery that drops you straight into a puzzle from Korea's past. We're in the 19th century, in the late Joseon dynasty: a time deeply shaped by Confucianism, where life is governed by strict rules and social hierarchies, and where honour, age, and gender mean everything.
You enter a scene frozen in time. As a spirit detective, you must examine the clues and solve the crime. Who has a motive? Who is behind the murder? And can you reveal the killer so the Spirit Bride can find peace and move on to the next world?

The creator behind the VR experience
The VR experience 'The Spirit Bride' was created in collaboration with South Korean illustrator Nayoung Wooh, who has previously worked with Disney and Marvel. Now you can step directly into her atmospheric, illustrated universe — exclusively at the National Museum.
Explore Korea's culture and traditions
Throughout September 2026, the National Museum sets its spotlight on Korea. Alongside 'Spirit Bride,' you can explore a new exhibition experiment in the museum's Korean collection. There you can try on traditional hanbok, among other things, and learn more about some of the rituals and traditions that run from the Joseon period (1392–1910) all the way to today. Visit Café Daisy too, where you can taste Korean fried chicken with kimchi and gamja salad.
