War Memorial of Korea

This is a fantastic, free museum. The exhibits are in both Korean and English and offer an in-depth look at Korean wars from ancient times to know. The Korean War is well covered and the section is moving. They have free lockers and you can borrow a wheelchair for free if you need one. I highly recommend visiting here before a DMZ tour to get a foundation of the war.

Beautiful design, highly informative exhibits and tons of history to be found here. Tells the story in detail of the North invasion of the South, documenting both the political aspects as well as the personal stories of those who lived through it. Does a remarkable job of documenting events through artifacts and audio visual tools, and also pays homage to the lives lost in a very sincere and touching manner. Don't miss the outdoor section of planes, tanks and missiles. Very interactive especially for kids.

Highly recommend! It's a free museum with tons of information and history of wars in Korea. The exhibit is very large so don't expect to see everything in a couple hours! Plenty of restrooms and vending machines. Again, highly recommend this place for all tourists.

This should be on your "to do" list if you like history or are curious about the 1950-1953 Korean War. This is a very well-presented museum with many different monuments and exhibits. General admission is free, and no entry tickets are required. You just walk in. This museum is bigger than I realized, so plan to spend at least an hour there (probably 2 hours) if you want to see everything. There are 3 floors of exhibits inside the building and an entire outdoor display of military vehicles and monuments. The memorial displays are very dignified and meaningful. Almost all of the exhibits have English translations. There are a few cafes on site. This is probably one of the most thoughtful (and thought-provoking) museums I have been to.

A free museum of this level? Something I have never seen in my life before. This museum is very big and has a lot to tell you. Not only the stories, but the visuals are amazing. You could spend the whole day here if you want to invest reading most of the stories. Go here if you can, it is free after all.

A very interesting experience and a very lovely place to visit when in Seoul. This was one of the first places we visited on our trip, took some fantastic pictures and got to learn about the history of the Korean War amongst other things. There was a very nice in house coffee shop too!

Very Impressive Museum. A must visit if you like war museums. This museum shows massive information of all the wars Korea has been through. It has a big outdoor part with armored vehicles, planes and helicopters. The entrance is free. Museum is very clean. Information is in English, Mandarin and Korean'

This museum is FREE and huge. The surrounding area and the park are so peaceful and great for a moment of relax. To learn more about the Korea war in the ‘50, Vietnam war and more i would suggest to visit War Memorial of Korea🇰🇷
