평양 모란봉극장.
One of the first public buildings erected after Korea's liberation, it was destroyed during the Korean War and rebuilt in 1954. It was demolished again and rebuilt as a faithful copy of the original exterior but with a modernized interior in 2005.
The theatre occupies the site of the former Shinto shrine of Pyongyang (平壤神社) built by the Japanese colonial government. The stairs in front of the theatre originally lead to the Shinto shrine. In the last years of the colonial period, Shinto worship was forced on Koreans as well. After liberation, all Shinto shrines in Korea were set on fire.
