About

The War Memorial of Korea records the wounds and sacrifices of war, holding within it the hearts of those who long for peace. Spanning from the Three Kingdoms period to the present, the space displaying countless weapons and equipment lets visitors feel the weight of time. The memorial stone, inscribed with the names of those who sacrificed their lives through war, leads visitors into quiet remembrance. Stepping inside, the reality of war presses in with even greater weight. Walking through the exhibition halls, the tremors of the past seem to carry forward into the lessons of today.
