Provisional Capital Memorial Hall
임시수도기념관
The two-storey red-brick house used as the presidential residence during the 1,023 days Busan was the provisional capital in the Korean War. Where the Modern and Contemporary History Museum takes the whole span, this takes one period narrowly — the war and the refuge. Closed Mondays.
