Why travelers stop here
The National Memorial of the Korean Provisional Government was established with the purpose of reexamining the spirit of self-reliance, independence, and democratic republicanism of the Korean Provisional Government as a proud history and passing it on to future generations. The site covers an area of 3,656㎡ (1,106 pyeong), with a total floor area of 9,7036㎡ (2,935 pyeong) and a total exhibition area of 2,240㎡ (678 pyeong). The building consists of three basement levels and four above-ground levels, housing three permanent exhibition halls, one special exhibition hall, a library and archive (Larchiveum), a symbolic plaza, storage rooms, a multi-purpose hall, and a rooftop garden. The permanent exhibition focuses on activities from the March 1st Movement, which served as the catalyst for the establishment of the Korean Provisional Government, to the founding of the Republic of Korea, which inherited the legal tradition of the provisional government. Additionally, on the outdoor plaza on the first floor of the memorial, a symbolic wall artwork titled 'Wave of History' is installed, expressing the provisional government's aspiration for independence and the dynamism of Korea's past, present, and future.
