Seodaemun Prison History Hall

I didn’t expect it to surprise me, but it was actually very well designed. It’s not just empty rooms, but shows and illustrates what every room, every building represents during that active period. The place is also big. It shows what it was like before, and the struggle of Koreans for independence. It explains why Koreans are so patriotic and proud of their own independence. The location of the Xidaemun Criminal Justice Institute’s Historical Hall is good, just off the Dongnimun subway station. I took my teenage son here to see how he felt and saw the history of the Japanese occupation and the resistance that South Korea launched at that time. The day before, we both visited the Seoul History Museum, but the exhibits there were too abstract, and the visit to the Xidaemun Criminal Justice Institute History Museum made all history alive. Walking around this once held political prisoners really can learn and learn a lot about the past. The wish here is that more exhibits and information can be translated into English, and there are tributes from students, workers, pro-democracy activists, but they are also written in Korean, I really hope to translate into English so that we can understand.

The Nishidaemun Institute of Criminal Affairs History Museum was built during the Japanese occupation of South Korea, showing the life of the prison and the cruelty of Japanese, and introducing detailed descriptions in Korean, English, Chinese and Japanese. The rooms inside are well protected, and in order to make tourists better experience and feel, torture is restored with wax.

It's a great place to experience history. I recommend it

The Xidaemun Criminal Office Historical Museum, located in the Independence Park of Xidaemun, is a special museum, as the organ of the suppression of the massacre of revolutionary martyrs by Japanese imperialism in the late Korean Empire. This historical museum is the site of the prison, known as Joan of Arc of South Korea, Liu Kuanshun, also died in this prison. middle. Besides the seven cells, you can visit the single cells and the execution room

It used to be quite novel, it is worth taking a look, mainly speaking about the Japanese colonial period.
