5.00Well, the fact that all the reviews so far are 5 stars pretty much says it all. This was a great tour given by a young man with a very balanced perspective. His commentary was wide-ranging and we discussed the political and social background to the building of this Museum as well as the political spin of the organization and curating of the museum contents. Anyway, I learned a ton about the Korean War, the participation of the UN and so much more. Highly recommended! While you are at the museum, check out all of the war-making materiel on the outside lawns of the building. B-52, jets, tanks, a PT boat and so much more. This museum is a must if you have an interest in all things military.
A wonderful experience

5.00Our guide was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. He shared details to help us distinguish what was propaganda and what was the truth behind what happened during the Korean War.
