The War Memorial of Korea’s centerpiece is the imposing, six-story Memorial Hall (four aboveground and two underground levels) that’s set back from the street by a long granite ramp, two symmetrical ponds and a Peace Plaza. Opened in 1994, the War Memorial of Korea is located on the
former site of the Army’s Headquarters in the Yongsan-dong neighborhood of
central Seoul. There are
over 13,000 items on display in six exhibition rooms, as well as an outdoor exhibition area that features over 100 mothballed fighter jets, tanks and
artillery batteries. Unfortunately, the rain kept us indoors during our visit.
