Why go

Geoje Museum is the city-run history-and-cultural museum of Geoje, Gyeongsangnam-do, set up as the city's flagship cultural-heritage institution. The museum walks visitors through Geoje Island's long history — from prehistoric Bronze Age settlements through the Three Kingdoms period, the Goryeo and Joseon dynasties (when Geoje was significant as a coastal-defense outpost), the Korean War period (when Geoje hosted the major UN POW camp), and the modern transformation into a major Korean shipbuilding center. Permanent halls cover archaeological artifacts, period documents, traditional folk-life materials, and the broader Geoje-area cultural-historical heritage. Best for travelers serious about regional Korean history, paired with broader Geoje Island itineraries.
