Yi Jun Peace Museum preserves a Korean memory of peace

This small museum in The Hague links the Korean diplomat Yi Jun with messages of peace and personal belongings in an intimate presentation on Wagenstraat.

Plan your visit ↗

A person as a way in

Start with Yi Jun’s belongings and read carefully what is stated about provenance and dating. Do not fill in missing parts of his life story yourself.

Peace in several voices

Messages of peace offer different perspectives. Note who is speaking, which period the document comes from and why it is shown here.

Small space, focused questions

The limited size lends itself to attentive reading. Choose one object and one message and look for their direct connection with Yi Jun.

Before you go

Museum guides and telephone directories give Monday–Friday 10.30–17.30, Saturday 11.00–16.00 and Sunday closed. Public holidays, admission and accessibility have not been established. So confirm by phone before you set off whether the museum is open and which facilities are available.
