The admiral (1545-1598) is a national hero, who led naval victories during the Japanese invasion in the late 16th century. Asan is his birthplace. (Yonhap)

If I were back in Korea now, I'd want to visit the museum.

#3: If he was it actually wouldn't be all that out there. Admiral Yi was thought of fairly highly by the Imperial Japanese Navy and Admiral Togo conducted some sort of ceremony paying homage to Yi just before the Battle of Tsushima.

Yeah, I could see him doing it. I was deliberately being a bit glib there in #3, so I'll just say I think you're right.

What's in the museum? I hope it's light on the nationalistic rhetoric and heavy on historical accuracy…and for that to be it must have genuine artifacts in its collection and exhibitions, not some grandiose reproductions aimed at captivating highly impressionable youth.
