Has anyone been to the Korean War Museum in Itaewon?

One of the best museums I've ever been to.

I'll warn you, it's a very emotional experiece though.

Takes a good 4 -5 hours to take it all in and you will want to take it all in.

I went in 2000. Has it changed at all?

I dunno, I thought they were too big on print and not nearly heavy enough on artefacts, which was what I loved about the Imperial War Museum in London.

I should probably have another look. Still free or minimal charge?

I went 2005 and spent a good 4 hours there. Still didn't see everything as much as I would have liked to.

I found it very impressive. A good day trip.

I went a few months ago. It's a great experience. It cost W3,000 when I went, could possibly have gone up since then.

The subway stop is actually at Samgakji (line 4 / line 6).

Well worth seeing, especially before going on a DMZ tour, which helps what you see there make more sense.
