    The museum was free and on the edge of a very beautiful park. The first floor had a lot of good information, mainly all in Korean. The second floor had interactive items for children.

    (Translated by Google) It is a little disappointing that there is no explanation for foreigners, but there are still things that can be communicated. Although it is provided free of charge, it is a very nice museum. I was thrilled to have been sacrificed by the Pacific War and the Korean War and made many sacrifices. (Original) 外国人向けの説明がないのが、少し残念ですが、それでも伝わるものはあります。無料で提供してくれていますが、とても立派な資料館です。 太平洋戦争や朝鮮戦争に翻弄され、多くの犠牲を出されたのには胸がいたみました。

    (Translated by Google) I was expecting a lot, but there is nothing to see. It is a waste of free. It's a waste of time ... (Original) 잔뜩 기대했지만 볼거 되게 없습니다. 무료도 아깝다. 시간이 아까운...

    I was looking for places to visit on a cold weather and found this place on the Daegutrip app. It is a beautiful building and tells a bit of the modern history of Daegu. The entrance is free and is an easy place to find since it is not far from city center. I loved vising and would recommend for others who likes museums and history.

    Luckily, it opened on Tuesday when it was supposed to be closed as a public museum because on Monday most of museum were open then because it was a holiday... According to the description on Tuesday it should be closed. Every Monday it close except when the Monday is a holiday. Anyway, it is about the history of the modern Daegu. You can see for free anyway... there is no reason to skip it... It is also near the major tourist attractions around.

  • 4/5 Amy H. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) This building was built by Japan as a bank, and it was a painful building that provided military and business funds with Korean money. You can learn modern and unknown history that you never thought of. I like the fact that the commentary is free, and I visited it on a weekday morning, so I was able to receive a one-to-one commentary. (Original) 일본이 은행이랍시고 만들어놓았으며, 한국인들의 돈으로 군자금과 사업자금를 마련했던 아픔이 있는 건물임. 생각지도 못한 잘 알려지지 못한 근현대사를 배울 수 있음. 해설이 무료인 점이 좋고 평일 오전에 방문했던 터라 1대1 해설을 받을 수 있었음.
