What people say

"Established on 1989, this monumental site commemorates the Korean War and educates on national history. It aims to prevent war and foster peaceful reunification. It's a testament to Koreaโ€™s journey through nation-building, industrialization, and democratization. With over 33,000 artifacts, including 10,000 on display, the memorial features six indoor halls and an outdoor exhibition of large-scale weapons. Visitors can engage in 20 educational programs and enjoy cultural events like military music performances and drawing contests. Look out for 'Mudori,' the character symbolizing protection and peace. And don't forget to enjoy the view of N Seoul Tower from the memorial! ๐Ÿ“29, Itaewon-ro, Yongsan-gu, Seoul (์„œ์šธํŠน๋ณ„์‹œ ์šฉ์‚ฐ๊ตฌ ์ดํƒœ์›๋กœ 29) ๐Ÿš‡ Noksapyeong Station, Exit 1 or Samgakji Station, Exit 11/12 ๐Ÿ•ฐ๏ธ 09:30 AM to 6:00 PM (Last admission 1 hr before closing, closed Mondays) ๐ŸŽŸ๏ธ Free entry (special exhibitions may have separate fees) ๐Ÿ…ฟ๏ธ Parking available"

"Among museums in Seoul, this is a favorite for history buffs. There are two main exhibitions in this museum, one inside and the other outside. The hall indoors has exhibitions related to all the wars South Korea has been in. Outdoors, you can see various tanks, vehicles, submarines, aircraft, and artillery that Korea used during World War 2, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. You can even go inside them! Expect to spend 1-3 hours here. This is one of the top museums in Seoul for its location since itโ€™s conveniently located in a central spot in the city."
"Nestled in Seoul, this solemn memorial pays tribute to Korea's valiant heroes and tumultuous history. Through vivid exhibits and life-sized replicas, it offers a profound understanding of the sacrifices made during times of conflict. With memorials and multimedia presentations, it honors the indomitable spirit of soldiers and civilians alike, leaving visitors with a deep appreciation for Korea's enduring resilience and the heroes who shaped its destiny."
