60 Years of Armistice National Museum of Korean Contemporary History special exhibit examines history of inter-Korean relations The National Museum of Korean Contemporary History is holding a special exhibit to mark the 60th anniversary of the Korean War armistice agreement. The exhibit, which intends to focus on the development of inter-Korean relations---a cycle of confrontation and peace---and the future of said relations, is divided into four sections. The first section, “Records of Pain,” looks at the North Korean invasion, the UN intervention and all the major historical points up to the signing of the armistice; it will also look at life in wartime Korea. The second section, “Confrontation Amidst the Armistice,” focuses on the relations of tension between the two Koreans even after the signing of the armistice. “Efforts for Peaceful Reunification,” meanwhile, introduces the realities of Korea’s national division and efforts for reunification. Finally, “Armistice and 60 Years” breaks down the realities of South and North Korea in terms of statistics and looks at the inter-Korean relationship from a variety of viewpoints. The special exhibits hopes to reinforce the value of freedom and peace by showing the scars of war and allows visitors to think about the future of inter-Korean relations. The exhibit will be accompanied by academic seminars, associated educational programs and cultural events.
