South Korea offers visitors an educational, yet emotional experience of the
many wars in which Korea was involved. Many documents and war memorabilia have

5,000-year history of resistance to numerous invasions, while still maintaining
national self-esteem. The War Memorial has several display rooms and an outdoor
exhibition center displaying military equipment.
13,000 items are displayed in its six halls under different

Armed Forces Room, and Large Equipment Room, plus the outside exhibition area.
