A free national museum built into a hillside above the UN cemetery, documenting the Koreans conscripted as laborers and soldiers across Asia under Japanese colonial rule. Personal letters, photographs, and belongings of the mobilized are displayed alongside reconstructions of the mines and dormitories they were sent to.
