One exhibition, two chapters of Korean history
In Jeongeup, the Donghak Peasant Revolution memorial complex recalls the events of 1894. This autumn and winter it also hosts a special exhibition titled *Baekbeom Kim Gu, a Donghak Peasant Soldier Who Became President of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea*. The official exhibition listing gives September 17–December 20, 2026, at the special exhibition gallery of the Donghak Peasant Revolution Memorial Hall.
What to look for
The title invites a question: why is Kim Gu, familiar to many as an independence leader, also introduced in connection with the Donghak peasant forces? Following that connection can help you think across different periods of Korean history. The complete exhibit list and interpretive texts could not be independently established from the listing, so use the on-site descriptions for detail.
Pair the exhibition with the memorial park
The memorial complex is at 742 Donghak-ro, Deokcheon-myeon, Jeongeup. The foundation lists the Memorial Hall as open Tuesday–Sunday, 09:00–18:00, with last admission at 17:30; it closes Mondays and January 1. The separate Donghak Peasant Revolution Museum opens Tuesday–Sunday, 10:00–18:00, also with last admission at 17:30. These are two different facilities, so check which entrance you need.
Outside, the Sabaltongmun Plaza and Field of Memory provide further context. The visitor centre and other facilities follow separate arrangements.
