Statue of the Brothers
The Statue of the Brothers is an 18-metre-wide, 11-metre-tall sculpture created by artist Choi Young-jeep in 1994. It depicts the emotional encounter and embrace between a South Korean officer and his younger brother, a North Korean soldier, amid the battlefield. This powerful work captures in a single image the values of reconciliation, love and forgiveness that define the entire memorial.
Expeditionary Force Hall
The Expeditionary Force Hall is one of six themed galleries in the main building of the Korean War Memorial in Seoul. It documents South Korea's military deployments abroad, extending the historical narrative beyond the Korean War to cover the country's involvement in international conflicts. What to see here includes displays on Korean forces' participation in various global operations and peacekeeping missions throughout modern history.
Great Military Equipment Hall
The Large Military Equipment Hall is one of six themed indoor galleries within the Korean War Memorial in Seoul, dedicated to displaying heavy-scale weaponry and military vehicles. It showcases the largest pieces of war material housed indoors, complementing the outdoor collection of heavy equipment. This hall provides visitors with an in-depth look at the substantial military hardware used during the Korean War.
Open-Air Military Equipment Exhibition
The outdoor military equipment exhibition at the Korean War Memorial showcases approximately 100 pieces of weaponry and vehicles, including tanks, aircraft, helicopters, artillery, missiles, and naval vessels. Located to the right of the main building, the display is distinguished by the sheer scale of its exhibits—notably a massive B-52 bomber alongside dozens of fighter jets and armoured vehicles. The layout emphasises visual impact over detailed interpretation, with minimal signage compared to the indoor galleries. What to see here demands little more than a walk and your eyes.
Peace Pavilion
The Pavilion of Peace sits within the Korean War Memorial in Seoul and serves as a complementary space to the main exhibitions on the site. Its name encapsulates the spirit of reconciliation and hope that defines the entire memorial complex. Visitors can explore this thoughtfully designed space as part of their visit to what remains one of South Korea's most significant historical sites, offering perspective on the war's legacy and the possibility of lasting peace.
Bangsan Arms Room
The Bangsan Weapons Hall is an exhibition dedicated specifically to weapons and military equipment produced in Korea. It stands apart from other war memorials through its focus on domestic arms manufacturing, offering visitors insight into the country's industrial-military development.
