The Victorious War Museum, or the Victorious Fatherland Liberation War Museum, is a history/military museum dedicated to the Korean War located in the North Korean capital-city of Pyongyang.[1]
The museum was first set up in August 1953[2] and built in the Central District of Pyongyang, initially named as the "Fatherland Liberation War Museum." In April 1963, it was relocated to the Sosong District and re-established in a purpose-built building compound.
In 2014, the museum was renovated and upgraded significantly[3] and the new design included a building spanning across the nearby Botong River, together with a large panorama-style display hall at the top.
