The Korean Revolution Museum encompasses the period between 1860 and the present day, including the anti-Japanese resistance, the Korean War and the period of socialist construction. It has 90 rooms which hold items related to Kim Il Sung and his associates, Korean reunification, the Korean diaspora, and various historical battles.
