Museum
Pyongyang Metro has its own museum. A large portion of the collection is related to President Kim Il-sung's providing "on the spot guidance" to the workers constructing the system. Among the exhibits are a special funicular-like vehicle which the president used to descend to a station under construction (it was riding in the inclined tunnel that was to be eventually used by the escalators), and a railbus in which he rode around the system.
