The 2nd exhibition Hall, ‘Natioanl Crisis by Japanese Imperialism,’ covers the

period from the 1860’s to the 1940’s which is from the Korea’s first step towards

modernization to the Japanese colonization period. After the flow of changes in the

modernization period and the revolutionary period to become a sovereign nation,

Korea’s long history was interrupted by the Japanese invasion. You can view the

struggles of the loss of national sovereignty. You can also see the distortion of the

history of neighboring nations that still exist today.

ModeloftheSeodaemunPrison

Prison during the Japanese

colonization is one of the

representative colony

government instrument that

suppressed Koreans. The

old Japanese government

constructed the prison to block

Koreans from conducting

independence movements.

It kept and suppressed

independence patriots.

The 3rd exhibition hall, ‘Struggles for National Rights,’ covers the National

Sovereignty Restoration Movement which is represented by the Uibyeong

(righteous army) Movement and the Enlightenment Movement. You can view the

beginning, middle and last period of the Uibyeong Movement which occurred

around the nation by the Korean nobleman scholars. You can also view the

movements of patriots and martyrs like the Great Martyr Ahn Jungguen who

sacrificed themselves and punished the traitors and invaders.
