"Seoul’s War Memorial Museum is a massive complex that can easily eat up a history buff’s whole day. The big-ticket items—tanks, planes, missiles—are outside; inside is a complete history of military actions in Korea. One really cool thing is a replica of Admiral Sun-shin’s “turtle warships,” ironclad fighting boats used in the 16th century. The bulk of the place is taken up with the Korean War, with tons of films and photos that can get a little overwhelming for the unprepared. Korea was a suburb of hell from 1950 to 1953, and no punches are pulled here in showing just what it was like. It might be best to head for a park after your visit, to decompress and remember that it’s always business as usual for the trees."

Very impressive, especially considering the access is free. If your country also participated in the U.N. forces in the Korean War, there’s a section contributed to those countries, with videos in each country’s languages. Fun to watch. Totally recommended when you visit Seoul.

Free entry, but all the military hardware I wanted to see is outside anyway. The museum looks fabulous and I would certainly go back for a longer visit than the time I had available this trip

Excellent memorial and museum. Plenty of information in English to help those who don't speak Korean. If you like detail and seeing everything, you could easily spend a whole day here. The open air exhibits are very interesting, particularly the ship where the interior is worth a visit to watch the story of story of Wyatt happened.

Amazing museum, and a must visit site! To be clear, this is a museum of "Korean wars" and well beyond just a Korean War museum. I was truly impressed by the breadth and depth of socio-political background information and military history. Great facility, military equipment, memorials, picture sites and exhibits.

Its free, no tickets. It will take around 3-4 hours to complete properly. Its very big and detailed. Lots of artifacts and life size models of plains, tanks, missiles, artillery, etc

A vast collection of well maintained militaria is on display inside and outside the War Memorial, ranging from a U.S. B-52D to a North Korean SP-10 semi submersible boat. The Korean War galleries include exhibits from the many nations which contributed combat forces and medical support during the three year conflict.
