The official language of the deaf in Korea is Korean sign language, and since Korean is a second language for the deaf who think and communicate in Korean sign language, it is inevitable to have difficult Korean subtitles or complicated reading comprehension.

However, most of the publicity materials are also produced centering on the blue people, so it is practically inconvenient for some deaf people to get all the information.

First of all, the National Museum of Korea is the first to participate in the ‘Meet Sign Language’ project to improve information accessibility for the deaf by putting an emblem on the QR code that provides sign language images.

The Central Museum plans to apply this emblem to the QR code that provides sign language interpretation videos to the permanent exhibitions ‘Room of Thought’ and ‘Greek Helmet Donated by Sohn Kee-chung’.

In addition, affiliated institutions such as the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul Arts Center, and other public institutions are expected to use the ‘Meet the Sign Language’ emblem a lot in promotional materials such as exhibition and performance guide covers, posters and booklets.

Meanwhile, among companies, Samsung Electronics is participating in this project.
