SEOUL, April 14 (Yonhap) -- The National Palace Museum of Korea will hold an online quiz 'Annyeongeul giwonhamnida (안녕을 기원합니다)', meaning 'I wish you all the best' under the theme of court paining Sipjangsaengdo. The quiz will be held in SNS including instagram from the 15th to 22th.

The museum has selected Sipjangsaengdo as this month's 'curator-recommended royal family relics,' and is planning to receive the quiz answers in SNS comments to give cups with illustration of Sipjangsaengdo to 200 people.

Sipjangsaengdo is a painting which depicts natural objects with auspicious meaning, such as the sun, clouds, mountains, turtles, cranes, and peaches. Visitors can view Sipjangsaengdo in Royal Rituals of the Joseon Dynasty in the basement level. The museum also provides explanation video with Korean and English subtitles through the website and YouTube.
