The only problem with the SK presentation of that stuff along the DMZ these days--i.e. in the last five years or so--is that the whole emphasis seems to be on 'can't we all just get along'? The displays have all been toned down. It is the South Korean pro-appeasment unificationist's greatest dream.
They downplay all the terrible starvation and prison camps in the DPRK, and highlight the cultural unity of the Korean people. This is all part of the Kim Dae Jung-Roh Mu Hyon Sunshine policy.

is that the whole emphasis seems to be on 'can't we all just get along'? Absolutely ... I definitely noticed a great deal of that ... that silly train station at the end of the line exemplifies the problem. Didn't stop me getting the "railway line going thru torn barbed wire with fluttering doves" stamp on my passport, though.
