Gunsan Modern History Museum (군산근대역사박물관)

Gunsan Modern History Museum documents the city's transformation during Korea's turbulent modern era, from Japanese colonial rule through the post-war period. The museum houses artifacts, photographs, and exhibits that illustrate daily life, industrial development, and cultural shifts across the late 19th and 20th centuries. Housed in a restored colonial-era building, the collection reflects Gunsan's evolution as a port city and its role in Korean history. Visitors gain insight into the experiences of ordinary people during this formative period, with displays covering commerce, education, and social change. The setting itself—preserved architecture from the colonial period—adds context to the historical narrative.
