Wars bring about tragedy and scars.

After suffering the Korean War, there is a place in Seoul,

where the agony and relics of war still remain in tact.

The War Memorial of Korea is located in a place close to Itaewon called Yongsan.

Having over 2.1 million foreign visitors a year, it is a popular tourist attraction in Korea.

In the Korea War Room, which shows the chronology of the Korean War,

you will feel as if you experience the real war.

The progression of the 3 years and 1 month of back and forth fighting

during the Korean War, which started when North Korea

invaded in 1950, is vividly reproduced.

The Korean War was the world's first war

that the UN forces entered after its formation.

In the exhibition room that honors the sacrifices of the 21 participating nations,

you will be able to confirm their determination to create a peaceful world.

Detailed records of the support and sacrifices made by the 63 countries

who sent troops, medical teams, and relief goods are on display.

The War History Room has on display over 5,000 years of history,

which includes records of battles fought and military relics

used to maintain peace on the Korean peninsula that date back to the prehistoric era.

You can also find on display a replica of the Geobukseon,

which was the deciding factor that allowed a small force to stop the Japanese invasion.

In the Outdoor Exhibition, equipment used during

the Korean War, like tanks and jets, are on display.

You are even able to go inside the transport planes and armored vehicles.

Moreover, when you step aboard the battle-scarred warship,

you will feel as if you were in the middle of a fierce struggle.
