Overview
The Lee Han-yeol Memorial Hall was established in 2004 with compensation and citizen donations received by his mother to ensure the preservation and restoration of his relics, and it was newly opened as a private museum in 2014. It is a museum that preserves and researches records of the June Uprising in 1987, including the personal belongings of martyr Lee Han-yeol, and educates the history of democracy through exhibitions. At the Lee Han-yeol Memorial Hall, a Dream Sotdae by artist Choi Byung-soo is erected on the rooftop, a mural by artist Kim Ya-cheon is displayed on the wall, and a mosaic mural by artist Lee Kyung-bok welcomes visitors at the entrance of the exhibition hall. On the wall connecting the third and fourth floors, there is a portrait painting that led the funeral procession, while the permanent exhibition hall on the fourth floor displays the clothes, shoes, photographs, and personal belongings he wore when he collapsed. Additionally, visitors can view photos of the shooting scene captured by Lee Han-yeol and reporter Jeong Tae-won (Reuters), personal belongings and writings from his middle and high school days, and records of the June Struggle.
