Gunsan Modern History Museum

It was pretty late when I visited the museum. On December this museum closed until 18.00. The most interesting is the replice of 1930~ies Korea during Japan occupation. The ticket fare is ₩ 3.000 to visit all site museum which located in different building on the same area (around 5 minutes walks each). I didn't get chance to visit other museum as it already closing time. Only the main museum.

A majority of the displays are transcribed in english. (If not, a translator app and free WIFI will help!). The staff were very polite, and helped guide me through signing in. My Korean is a max of 10 words right now, so I can't stress how nice they are. All the exhibits are well lit, well layed out and easy to follow.

Gunsan is good city to travel. For foreigners and also Locals.
This museum and its area is quite small but we can meet many cute and modern buildings.

I enjoyed a lot while spending time in this museum. The history is really well depicted in the museum and you learn a lot while moving from one area to another inside the museum. It is also very fun to take pictures here!

It's definitely a place you should visit,

I introduce a museum in Gunsan. This place is shows the times 100 years ago. You can see the Old Town from here and experience the independence struggles
What i recommend is the modern life room. You can see old things like go-mu-sin and street shops.
Gunsan has lost to Japan because of its wide port and rice production area. Therefore, you can see the citizens who resisted this.
Gunsan is the place where many independence struggles took place. I recommend it to people who are interested in history. Also, going with my grandmother will be a good memory.

fun and great way to learn the history of gunsan when the japanese imperial era

There was lots to see and discover. Easly lost track of time.

an interactive museum with a lot of kids friendly features.

Good place for local people.

Nice place

This was a very nice experience. Atleast half of the exhibits have an English description under the Hangul to help you out. Well air conditioned building as well

highly recommended. nicely curated with lots of interactive programs. definitely worth to spend 2 hours. love to visit again. Love Gunsan!

Really cool to see the history of Gunsan like this! I enjoyed getting an idea what life was like at the time under the Japanese. Tragic but very interesting to see like this.

We were surprised to enjoy a live museum with volunteer actors taking us back in time on the third floor streets of Gunsan 1930.

Good to spend few hours in morning, most of the things are written in Korean language.

It shows life in 1950s to 1980s. Bringing middle schooler children will be good for field trip.

Here doesn't let people be misunderstood for korean history.

Great little museum with lots of interactive things to try

Outstanding representation of the history of the Gunsan region, from the bronze age to post World War II
