The Grand Monument on Mansu Hill (Mansudae) is a complex of monuments in Pyongyang, North Korea. The central part of the monument are two 22 metre high bronze statues of North Korean leaders Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il. Behind the statues is a wall of the Korean Revolution Museum building, displaying a mosaic mural showing a scene from Mount Paektu, considered to be the sacred mountain of revolution. The monument was constructed in April 1972, then displaying only Kim Il-sung. Following the death of Kim Jong-il, a similar statue of him was erected on the left side of Kim Il-sung.
