The April 25 House of Culture is a theatre located in Pyongyang, North Korea.[1] It was built in 1974–1975 to provide a venue for military education, and was originally called the February 8 House of Culture. It is located on Pipha Street in the Moranbong District of Pyongyang.[1] The classically colonnaded building[4] is considered one of the best examples of 1970s socialist monumentality in North Korea,[5] the other being the visually similar Mansudae Art Theatre.[6]
It has been the location of many historic events, from the 6th, 7th, and 8th congresses of the Korean Workers' Party, to the historic meeting of Kim Jong-il with the president of South Korea, Roh Moo-hyun, in 2007.[7]
