This remembers the brave people that fought for the freedom of South Korea. Everything is beautifully displayed and the museum itself is amazing. It's enormous but shows all the wars that ever took place in Korea in an explanatory way. Everything is very clear and there is a wide variety of different artifacts to help you understand the stories.

There was so much to learn and I felt they laid out the direction of the museum to the historical time-line very well! I don't recommend bringing small children since there is mostly reading material, but if you do, they do incorporate interactive screens (more reading material) and several visual displays/models if that keeps them occupied. 😊 I left this memorial wanting to learn more. They did an awesome job sharing so many interesting details of Korean history.
