Korean War Memorial Museum, Seoul
Korean War tanks and Ancient History
I was recently fortunate enough to go to the very impressive Korean War Memorial Museum in Seoul, which has an unsurprisingly large amount of Korean War and post-war Korean stuff in it, as well as some pretty solid ancient history, with uniforms, artifacts, armour and some impressive paintings of the Goguryeo and Joseon eras. These are the pictures I managed to take before my phone ran out of juice.
A B52, the whole damn thing in a park in the middle of the city!

And thats the end. I have loads more photos from museum on this site, mostly about tanks and aircraft - you can see them all here, including Tank Museums from Russia, the USA, France and the UK.
