Sinchon Museum of American War Atrocities

Sinchon Museum of American War Atrocities, History museum in Sinchon, North Korea.

The Sinchon Museum is a historic building in South Hwanghae Province that collects and displays documents and items from the Korean War period. The site includes several exhibition rooms across multiple floors, a preserved air-raid bunker, and a memorial area with a tomb for the victims.

The museum occupies the former building of the Sinchon County Party Committee. It commemorates more than 35,000 deaths between 17 October and 7 December 1950, during the Korean War. In July 2015 the museum was rebuilt and moved to a new location. Kim Il Sung visited in 1953 and 1958, Kim Jong Il in 1962 and 1998, and Kim Jong Un with his sister in 2014.

The museum occupies the former building of the Sinchon county Party committee. Its 16 rooms in the main wing and three in a second wing hold photographs, paintings and artifacts, and survivors of the massacre give testimony inside the museum. The displays also cover the General Sherman incident, Christian missionary activity, the occupation of Korea and the Korean War.

The museum occupies the former county Party committee building, with exhibits in 16 rooms of the main wing and three rooms in a second wing. The grounds also hold an air-raid shelter and a cemetery. The complex was rebuilt and moved to a new location in July 2015, so orientation follows the newer layout.

The air-raid bunker on the grounds remains in its original condition and can be entered during the guided visit. North Korean records state that numerous residents sought shelter in this underground room.
