  • CAN ONE VISIT THIS "MUSEUM" ?
  • yes, though one needs to be part of an organised tour. It is approximately the size of a village school, consisting mostly of press snippets about the tree-cutting incident.
  • I believe this is also referred to as the "Peace Museum", and the former village of Panmunjeom was located across the road on the south side.
