Prisoner of War Camp Historic Site Museum

The POW Camp Historic Museum is a museum located within the Geoje POW Camp Historic Park. It is an evidence-based historic museum featuring various records, video materials, and physical records of the prisoners' transfer, transport, struggles, repatriation, and various incidents.
Inside the museum, there are exhibition rooms, a video room, and a souvenir shop. In the exhibition rooms, the occurrence of prisoners, the background, life history, prisoners' belongings, riots, release, etc. are exhibited, and in the video room, a 10-minute film about prisoners is shown through footage filmed at the time and interviews with former prisoners. The symbolic sculpture is exhibited under the title 'War, Division, and Harmony,' and the intensity of the battles during the Korean War can be inferred through bullet holes in a dented helmet.
Many prisoners captured due to the war were held at this Geoje POW Camp, and among the exhibits, the image of South Korean and North Korean soldiers removing barbed wire expresses a strong will to achieve harmony and unification between the Korean people.
