Korean Central History Museum, National history museum in Kim Il-sung Square, Pyongyang, North Korea.
The Korean Central History Museum contains 19 exhibition rooms across 10,500 square meters, displaying approximately 100,000 historical artifacts and relics from Korean civilization.
The museum opened in December 1945 on Moran Hill, but during the Korean War, its collections were hidden and the original building suffered destruction.
The exhibition halls present Korean history from ancient times through various dynasties, including Kojoson, Koguryo, Paekje, Silla, and Palhae periods.
Foreign visitors receive guided tours through the museum, which stands directly across from the Korean Art Gallery in central Pyongyang.
The museum preserves million-year-old bones discovered at Komun Moru in 1966 and contains a replica of the first rocket battery in world history.
