September 18 History Museum

The museum addresses the Japanese military action of 18 September 1931 and the occupation that followed. Its memorial architecture is modern; some exhibited objects were made during the occupation and later acquired new meanings. Keeping those origins distinct makes the site’s public remembrance more legible.
