Seodaemun Prison History Hall is a poignant reminder of Korea’s turbulent past under Japanese occupation. Visiting this former prison, you walk through dimly lit cells and corridors where independence activists were once held. The exhibits are meticulously curated, featuring personal artifacts, letters, and photographs that bring history to life. Audio guides and detailed panels provide context for each area, allowing visitors to reflect on the resilience of the Korean people. Beyond the grim history, the museum is beautifully maintained, with informative staff and a somber, respectful atmosphere. A must-visit for history enthusiasts.
