Party Founding Museum

Located on the southern slope of Haebang Hill is this museum that originally housed the Central Committee of the Korean Workers’ Party, as well as Kim Il-sung’s office, from where he ‘led the building of a new democratic Korea’. Next door is the Great Leader’s conspicuously modest residence, used after coming to power (and before he had numerous palaces built for him).
