Kim Koo Museum, Historical museum in Hyochang-dong, Yongsan District, Seoul, South Korea.
The Kim Koo Museum is a memorial institution in Hyochang-dong, Yongsan District, Seoul, housed across two floors. The exhibition displays documents, artifacts, and multimedia materials that tell the story of Korea's independence movement.
The museum was established in 2002 to preserve the legacy of Kim Koo, a leader during Korea's independence struggle against Japanese rule. His efforts shaped the direction of Korean liberation movements in the early 20th century.
