5.18 기념홍보관 The 5.18 Memorial Exhibition Hall @Cultural Complex Station

 

 

As i stayed close to the Cultural Complex Station 문화전당역 Exit 2, i bumped into this mini exhibition at the Exit 3 when i unintentionally passed by.  Though of small scale and without popularity, it is interesting to see that the space in the underground station is well utilised.
