April 25 House of Culture, Pyongyang
평양 4·25문화회관.
Opened in 1975, this building "serves as a centre of mass cultural education for soldiers of the Korean People's Army and the working people", according to the Pyongyang review. It is the site of various "mass meetings" on official holidays such as the KPA Foundation Day. Originally called February 8 House of Culture in remembrance of the formal creation of the KPA on 8 February 1948, it was renamed after Kim Il Sung in 1978 directed that the KPA Foundation Day be changed from 8 February to 25 April, the alleged day of establishment of his anti-Japanese guerrilla army in 1932.
