Geoje P.O.W. Camp Historic Park is a park and exhibition hall built on the site of South Korea's largest prisoner-of-war camp, which accommodated up to 173,000 North Korean and Chinese prisoners captured by the South Korean and UN forces during the Korean War (1950-1953). Visitors to the exhibition hall can learn about the Korean War and the lives of prisoners through educational displays and experiences, as well as view war artifacts such as weapons.
