The museum came into being when the great heyday of the Juche-oriented youth movement was ushered in under the guidance of the Workers' Party of Korea.

On display there are the immortal leadership exploits of the peerlessly great men who regarded the youth issue as an important strategic issue related to the destiny of the country and put forward it as the most important state affair to set a brilliant example in the youth movement and build the one and only youth power in the world.

Standing in the general review hall of the museum are the colored statues of President Kim Il Sung?and Chairman Kim Jong Il among youths and children.

When visiting the newly built museum in January 2016, Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un looked at the statues of smiling Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il?for a while and said that the statues well show the true picture of our society in which the leader and the masses have become a harmonious whole.
