Well, 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

Very nice museum and the guide was really good. Had good English so you could understand, and he gave the war and the museum a different perspective. More from the people view of the war was and is for them.
Superb coverage of Korean War

Our guide Kichan Lee was outstanding. His knowledge of Korean history, ww2, and politics is deep and broad. He makes everything so interesting, and is able to answer all questions clearly and succinctly and honestly. His English is superb.
