The North Korea Peace Museum is in the building constructed to house the signing of the Korean War Armistice Agreement on 27 July 1953. It is located in the former village of Panmunjeom (Phanmunjŏm) in Panmun-guyok, Kaesong, North Korea.
It is located approximately 1.2 kilometres (3⁄4 mi) northwest of the Joint Security Area (JSA), in the northern half of the Demilitarized Zone. The building is all that remains of the former village, and since the mid-1950s, references to Panmunjom actually refer to the Joint Security Area itself. It is about 1.9 kilometres (1+3⁄16 mi) northeast of Kijong-dong, often referred to as Propaganda Village.
The weapons used to kill U.S. Army Captain Arthur Bonifas and Lieutenant Mark Barrett in the axe murder incident of 1976 are housed within the museum.
