In the exhibition space, visitors can witness scenes such as the shamanistic ritual site of Hwalim (played by Kim Go-eun), the coffin placed in the mortuary, the gallery of the so-called "dangerous things" erected vertically, and the grand mountain top where attention is drawn.

Various goods (fan merchandise) utilizing the concept of "Exhuma," such as umbrellas engraved with sutras and keychains in the shape of coffins, will also be sold for the first time.

Showbox introduced the exhibition with the intention of expressing gratitude to the enthusiastic audience who supported "Exhuma," stating, "Beyond watching the movie, visitors can directly experience the world and leave it as a record."

Directed by Jung Jae-hyun, the film depicts the bizarre events that unfold when a feng shui master, a funeral director, and a shaman are tasked with relocating a suspicious grave. With a cumulative audience of over 11.88 million, it achieved unprecedented success as an occult film.
