National Memorial Museum of Forced Mobilization under Japanese Occupation

About

The National Memorial Museum of Forced Mobilization under Japanese Occupation is a national history museum in Busan, South Korea. It first opened on December 10, 2015. It covers the Japanese colonial period (1910–1945), in particular when Koreans were forced to perform labor and moved to other places to support Japan. The museum was founded by the South Korean Ministry of the Interior and Safety, although jurisdiction was transferred to the Ministry of Government Administration and Home Affairs in 2016. As of 2023, admission into the museum is free of charge. Its director is Park Cheolgyu.
