Why go

Incheon Open Port Museum sits in the Incheon Open Port heritage district, housed in a preserved late-19th-century brick building that originally served as the Japanese Daiichi Bank's Incheon branch — one of the major foreign-bank buildings of Incheon's treaty-port era. 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 that accompanied the opening. 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, Chinatown, the Jajangmyeon Museum, and Jayu Park for a focused half-day Incheon Open Port walking circuit.
