Description
A building of so named "Stalin's architecture" (the Soviet architectural Empiry-kind style of late 40th - early 50th). Big Lenin's and Marx's portraits on the wall facing the Kim Il Sung square make the building one of the most prominent landmarks of Pyongyang, as any images of any individuals except for Kim Il Sung and his family members extremely rarely can be met in Korea. On the roof, there is a big cardbord flag of the Korean Workers' Party (a red flag with the party symbol of a hammer, a hoe, and a brugh in the center).Related content

I seriously doubt the sign is made of cardboard. After all, it is outdoor signage and I'm pretty sure the Koreans are going to be sick of replacing it every week or so after the sign is exposed to the elements.

The Pictures Of Lenin and Marx I think have been taken down recently... Think it was in a documentary I watched...

I ask since the leaders tend to hold meetings in separate halls. One having a statue of a young Kim Il-Sung or one having a large wooden podium with multiple microphones.
