The Memorial Hall

The War Memorial of Korea stands in Seoul as a place of reflection on the nation's military past. Opened in 1994 on land that once housed army headquarters, its purpose extends beyond mere display. It seeks to educate through the experiences of the Korean War, promoting peace and the aspiration for a reunited Korea.

Within its grounds, visitors can explore six indoor galleries and an outdoor space. These areas showcase a range of military artefacts and equipment, representing contributions from both South Korea and its allies, offering a tangible connection to the conflicts and the ongoing pursuit of peace.
