Paek Son Haeng Memorial Hall, Pyongyang

평양 백선행기념관(白善行紀念館).

Paek Son Haeng (1848-1933) was a female philanthropist who donated large sums for the construction of schools and other welfare institutions in colonial Korea. This building near Taedong Gate was built by her and later re-named Paek Son Haeng Memorial Hall in memory of her services. It was refurbished as a museum only recently.
