HONOLULU (KHON2) — Learn all about an important historical event in a brand new exhibit opening soon.
The 75th Korean War Documentary Photo Exhibit will open June 10 at the City Hall Lane Gallery in Honolulu.
This exhibit showcases a collection of rare and historic photographs documenting the Korean War, often remembered as “The Forgotten War,” now properly showcased for its 75th anniversary.
Through images captured by frontline photographers, war correspondents and military personnel, visitors will gain a glimpse into the struggles soldiers and civilians faced during the conflict.
“This exhibit is not just a commemoration of history—it’s a tribute to the courage, unity, and humanity that transcended the battlefield,” said Bong-Yong Park, president of PUAC Hawaii Chapter. “We hope each photo serves as a moment of reflection and recognition for all who served and those still impacted by the war’s legacy.”
Guests can expect the exhibit to include a special tribute wall honoring local war veterans, the USS Missouri (BB-63) Battleship and never-before-seen images from the archives.
A commemoration ceremony will also be held on June 17 at 2 p.m., featuring remarks from dignitaries, veteran guests, and community leaders.
The exhibit runs from June 10 through June 27 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is free and open to the public.
