A museum about Korean military history and the Korean War. It starts with the ancient and Middle Ages, explaining the wars at that time and showing the weaponry of the time. Then the second-floor deals with the Korean War, both focusing on the Korean and UN forces. Outside of the memorial, there are several fighter, bomber, and trainer aircraft displayed that were used during the Korean War.
The War Memorial of Korea (Korean: 전쟁기념관) is a museum located in Yongsan-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, South Korea. It opened in 1994 on the former site of the army headquarters to exhibit and memorialize the military history of Korea. It was built for the purpose of preventing war through lessons from the Korean War and for the hoped for peaceful reunification of North and South Korea. The memorial building has six indoor exhibition rooms and an outdoor exhibition centre displaying war memorabilia and military equipment from Korea and its wartime allies, as well as captured equipment from the communist forces.

Formerly Namyeong-dong Anti-communist Branch 남영동 대공분실 (민주인권기념관)
History buffs may heard of the notorious "Seobinggo hotel" used by Chun Doo-hwan's Defense Security Command, but dissidents were more likely to be sent to anti-communist branches like Namyeong-dong before South Korea became a democracy. The branch, which functioned as an interrogation and torture chamber, was built in 1977. This is where university student Bak Jong-cheol was tortured to death, which led to massive pro-democracy movements and forced Chun to agree the direct election of president. The site has been renovated by the police as a museum to commemorate the victims of the authoritarian regime's oppression.
