Why go

Covid-19 Memory Space (Daegu) is a public memorial-and-archive space in Daegu, Gyeongsangbuk-do, dedicated to documenting the city's experience during the early-2020 Covid-19 outbreak — when Daegu became the first major outbreak hot-spot in South Korea and one of the most-watched early outbreak sites globally. The space combines archival materials (photographs, documents, period news clips), oral-history recordings from Daegu medical workers, residents, and patients, period medical and personal-protective equipment, and interpretive panels on the city's response — the Shincheonji-related case clusters, the rapid drive-through testing system pioneered in Daegu, and the broader civic mobilization. The space is built more as a public memory-and-acknowledgment space than as a celebratory monument. Best for travelers interested in modern Korean public-health history and contemporary civic memory.
