This Museum is huge and it contains all wars during Korea's history. If you start in the basement, you go back to the earliest time and as you move up, you move forward in history.

I'll be posting a bunch of pics throughout the day. It looks like I took some batch photos in low light that I didn't realize and I have several copies of the same pics on photobucket.

I went there on a company trip. I had never heard of it and was pretty blown away by the scale. Definitely one of the best museums I've been to. The section on the Korean War really helps you understand how violent and terrible that war was.

OP, did you make it up to the DMZ? Panmunjom is probably the strangest place I've ever been.

Would love to seethe exhibit on their war with Japan in the late 1500s. Though ming China owned Korea at the time, the war had a huge impact on Asian history.

Father in law was a marine in the Korean war. One of the Frozen Chozen - was shot, thought dead, told he would never walk. Tell a 19 year old kid all that - he went on to not only walk, but have 5 kids, play golf, tennis, lived a great long life.

Great guy - miss him.

I got to visit Seoul a couple years ago, and I enjoyed every minute of it. I hopped on the subway and just picked random stops to get out and explore. That museum was definitely one of the coolest places I went.

Very cool.

As I understand it, many of the graveyards where Americans are buried are meticulously groomed and kept up by school children as a sign of respect.
