2. 간단한 소개

일제의 침략이 가속화되면서 이에 항거하는 의병전쟁과 애국계몽운동 등 국권운동이 전국에서 거세게 일어나자, 일제는 한국민의 저항을 종식시키기 위해 조기에 식민지화를 이루고자 한국민을 탄압하였다. 이에 대규모 수용시설이 필요하여 1908년 10월 21일 서대문 현저동에 대규모 근대식 감옥을 신축하였다.

2008년부터 일부 훼손된 옥사의 원형 보수 및 정비, 왜곡된 경관 회복, 보안과 청사 외형 복원 및 전시물 교체 정비 사업을 실시하여 2010년 11월 완료하였다. 이에 대한민국의 독립과 민주를 상징하는 역사의 현장으로서 기반을 마련하고, 전세계인에게 자유와 평화의 소중함을 일깨우는 명소이다.

Seodaemun Prison History Hall is a special museum located at Seodaemun Independence Park. It was built near the end of the Joseon Dynasty (~1910), and was where Japanese soldiers tortured then later executed Korean followers of the Independence Movement. Seodaemun Prison History Hall was built in remembrance of Seodaemun Prison, and to salute the Korean patriots. There you&#39;ll find seven jail cells, a historical exhibition hall, an execution room, watchtowers and a basement jail cell where Yu Gwan-sun an historic figure during the independence movement died.

&nbsp;

The 1st floor is &ldquo;A Place of Reverence,&rdquo; where you can learn about Seodaemun Prison via the graphic systems. A large screen shows the background of its founding and the transition periods in its history. The Material Room has displays and information on Korea&#39;s history. The museum also holds special exhibits.

&nbsp;

The 2nd floor is &ldquo;A Place of History,&rdquo; where you can view the &ldquo;National Resistance Room,&rdquo; &ldquo;Prison History Room&rdquo; and the &ldquo;In Prison Life Room.&rdquo; This floor shows examples of how the people fought through this dark chapter in history continuing to hold on to their hope and resolve for freedom. &ldquo;A Place of Experience&rdquo; is the most horrifying and dreadful place in the prison. In the &ldquo;Temporary Detention Room&rdquo; and &ldquo;Torture Room&rdquo; you will see recreated torture scenes that are frighteningly realistic.
