The 4th exhibition hall, ‘Meaning and value of the Korean independence movement’

Korea’s independence movement was a path to independence and freedom for the Korean people and peace for all humanity. To this end, they had to fight against Japanese Imperialism for some 50 years before finally achieving liberation on August 15, 1945. The spirit of the independence movement, which spread across the nation during this time of lost sovereignty, is not only a guide to the present but will also serve as a torch for the future.
