Korean War Memorial
Korean War Museum
Looking for something to do to get out of the rain? You can spend hours in the Korean War Museum. Korea has been invaded many times. The museum is the best place to learn about its troubled history. . It calls itself a war memorial, but is really a huge military history museum. This place seems rather relevant, when remembering the peninsula is still technically at war with North Korea.
The museum is massive. There are both indoor and outdoor exhibits containing over 9,000 artifacts. Be sure to take a map at the main entrance of the museum to find your way around.
Exhibits include a life size turtle battle ship, F-15k 3D Experience Room, Shooting Area, Cinema, and Incheon Landing operation 4D experience.
The interior of the museum is broken up into eight halls:
1. Memorial Hall
2. War History Room
3. The Korean War
4. The Korean War (II)
5. The Korean War (III)
6. The expeditionary Forces Room
7. The ROK armed Forces Room
8. The large and defense Industries Equipment Room
