The Korea Museum

The Korea Museum in Japan is a citizen-made history museum for socio-cultural exchange between Japan and Korea. This museum was opened in Shinjuku in December 2001 by Japanese intellectuals, civic groups, and Japanese residents living in Japan, with the aim of conveying their unique history and culture, against the discrimination against Koreans living in Japan. The museum, which aims to learn and understand the historical facts of the two countries, hopes to build peace in East Asia by establishing a platform for mutual trust between the two countries.
