👉 A land imbued with life’s joys and sorrows
Back in the old days, the crossroads outside of Seosomun was an ordinary place of life, filled with hopes, dreams, daily joys, anger, sorrows and pleasure.
👉 A whirlwind of upheavals
It is also an area where the cries of those who dedicated their lives to enhancing human values rest buried.
👉 Isolated from desolate and precarious era marked by suffering
Through different periods, the place once used to be bustling markets and a national execution ground, has transformed into a neighborhood park, but it still remains a desolate place.
👉 Opening up to the world
The isolated area is finally reaching out to the world after years of tireless effort.
👉 Culture, art, and history
The Seosomun Shrine History Museum cultivates culture through constant discovery and celebrates the openness of art that transcends boundaries
as ways to embrace Seosomun’s grand yet heart-aching history.
👉 A moment of warmth and healing
The layers of past lives accumulated in the museum present a moment of reverence, awe, and consolation for those living in the present.
