Why go

Incheon Open Port Museum is a public institutional history museum in Incheon's Open Port heritage district, housed in a preserved late-19th-century brick building that originally served as the Japanese Daiichi Bank's Incheon branch. The museum walks visitors through Incheon's 1883 opening as a treaty port, the foreign concessions, the customs and shipping infrastructure, the lives of foreign and Korean residents in the port era, and the broader social-and-economic transformation. The preserved bank building itself — vault, teller hall, original brick façade — is part of the exhibit. Pairs naturally with the Incheon Open Port Modern Architecture Exhibition Hall and Chinatown for a focused half-day Incheon Open Port walking circuit.
