From April 2000 to November 2001, extensive renovations were undertaken, culminating in its present state, which includes the addition of the Photographic Gallery displaying an array of Korean War photographs. It was declared Designated Artifact #53 of Busan Metropolitan City, this memorial hall preserves the historical significance of Busan's role as the provisional capital during the Korean War.
