CURATOR'S CHOICE

Jipyeong-ri Battle It was a four-day battle that took place in February 1951 between the UN allied forces and the invading Chinese communist forces. Having a natural environment that is ideal as a defense fortress, Jipyeong-ri was used by the allied troops of the U.S. and French army as a fortress as they defeated the Chinese troops in the four-day intensive battle. This battle is considered to have changed

the course of the Korean War. Important historical documents, articles, and relics of the battle are on permanent display in this museum, and the battle itself is reenacted in miniatures in the gallery.
