This museum was established in August 1953 and it is dedicated to the Korean War, or as referred from the North Korean perspective, the Fatherland Liberation War against the invading forces of the United Nations, led by the United States, between 1950 and 1953. The museum features extensive exhibits of Korean War artifacts, historical documents, photographs, and dioramas, aiming to depict the North Korean struggle and victory against foreign aggression.
