North Korea still building anti-U.S. museums, though public visits appear down
Promotion of "class education centers" still using coded language, while more overt examples appear on state TV
KCNA, June 9 | Political rally outside the Sinchon Museum
“Class education centers” continue to be built or remodeled across North Korea, the country's ruling party newspaper reported on Tuesday, deploying a euphemism for museums often containing violent anti-U.S. and anti-South Korea propaganda.
The claim comes as explicit references to the ideological stance on Washington remain censored elsewhere in state media — a continuation of a 2018 campaign to hide the content amid improving relations with the U.S.
