Why go

Sudoguksan Museum of Housing and Living in Incheon's Sudoguksan neighborhood preserves and interprets the area's substantial 1950s-1970s 'daldongne' ("moon village") informal housing — built by Korean War refugees and rural migrants who flooded into Incheon during the post-war urbanization. The museum reconstructs original daldongne housing, period domestic items, and the broader social history of the urban poor in 20th-century Korea, with bilingual interpretation that does not flatten the complex social dynamics of the period. The reconstructed daldongne block adjoining the museum extends the visit into a walkable historical neighborhood. Free entry. About 2 hours. Pair with the broader Incheon Open Port Architecture district.
