Museum Day: War Memorial of Korea 전쟁기념관






After Lee Samsung Museum, we went to War Memorial since it's in the same Subway Line. Time is very precious when travelling so better target areas that are close to each other on the same day. Well that's how I arranged my itinerary.
There are different exhibits in the Museum, but I was not able to see everything. I have only visited the outdoor exhibit, where the fighter planes, tanks, military equipment and other war memorabilia are displayed. 
I'm a fan of War movies, that's why I enjoyed my time here. I grew up hearing stories about war from my grandfather, seeing this beyond what I used to imagine was remarkable but somehow sad and a terrifying event. 


The main photo above is the statue of brothers embracing each other. My own interpretation for that is that North & South should be reunited as one.
Here are some of photos of my 2012 & 2013 visit.
