Part 4: The Museum
Next we visited a museum of the Korean war that sits atop such a hill that you have to take a monorail tram to and from the museum.
A drawing of a deer greeted us on our way in. This is not the typical cartoon for cartoon’s sake. As mentioned, the DMZ is a wildlife preserve. After nodding callously to Bambi’s ilk a visitor can tour the staggering statistics and relics of war, and then step outside for some uneasy sunshine.
From the verandas one can look out into the DMZ, and even drop 500 won (40 cents) to use binoculars and attempt to see wildlife and ruins. Pictures are again forbidden.
(Picture: Caroline looking at a child looking out into the DMZ. As this was taken behind the "no photo" line and doesn't show (I think) the things they don't want you photographing, I think it's all right.)
