Chuseok Day 2: Korean War Museum

IMG_0481
Day 2 of our Chuseok Korean Thanksgiving stay-cation. Today we took a short walk off the base to the Korean War Memorial Museum. As the name implies, the museum traces the history of the Korean War with lots of interactive displays. Unfortunately because it was Chuseok, the museum was operating on a skeleton crew so all the fun "4D" attraction rooms were closed.

This is a very family-friendly, hands-on museum, featuring tanks, planes, artillery pieces and even a boat that visitors can actually enter. Some of the more interesting vehicles on static display include a B-52, and the Bell H-13 Sioux helicopter, which fans of M*A*S*H will immediately recognize. 

The museum is free to enter and is open 0900-1800 everyday except Monday. A few more scenes from the museum:
