On 27th July 2013, in a grand ceremonywhich was to mark the first time that new Leader Kim Jong Un appeared before the international press (a shouted and unanswered question by a British reporter was briefly claimed as the first 'interview' of The Marshal, to much well-earned derision) the newly-built Victorious Fatherland Liberation War Museum in Pyongyang was opened.
A genuinely impressive and immersive place, vast in scale and well laid-out and organised, a true claimant to be the very best museum in the country.
However, this day was the 60th anniversary of the signing of the armistice (in Panmunjom), considered to be the moment in which the Korean War ended in victory for the KPA (with an assist from the Chinese people’s Volunteer Army and some Russian backup) and this was not the first time a place had been built to display the means, method, and machines of victory, in fact, the previous location of this museum is right next door, and still stands to this day.
