To commemorate the 80th anniversary of Liberation, the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs has been working since October last year on creating digital exhibition spaces at the Yun Bong-gil Memorial Hall, Ahn Jung-geun Memorial Hall, and Baekbeom Kim Gu Memorial Hall. On the 24th, the Yun Bong-gil Memorial Hall was reopened. The Baekbeom Kim Gu Memorial Hall will open anew in April.


The Ahn Jung-geun Memorial Hall, which opened in 2010, installed a large LED wall in the lobby to display videos of Ahn Jung-geun’s calligraphy and replaced the graphics in exhibition rooms 1 through 3 entirely. Additionally, the process from the Harbin assassination to the legal battles, exhibited in the third exhibition room, has been digitally revamped.



Minister Kang stated, “The creation of digital exhibition spaces in major memorial halls, including the Ahn Jung-geun Memorial Hall, is an important project that goes beyond simple spatial changes to remember and inherit the lives of independence patriots and the history of the independence movement through modern communication methods.” She added, “The Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs will continue to make multifaceted efforts to widely promote the noble spirit of independence of our ancestors.”
