Gunsan Modern History Museum
A waterfront museum anchoring Gunsan’s modern-history district, with exhibitions on the port city’s maritime, commercial and colonial-era history and easy connections to nearby heritage buildings.
Checked the Gunsan Modern History Museum’s official notice on 8 October 2026. The 9th Gunsan Jjamppong Festival runs 9–11 October, and the museum notice says only the museum has evening opening during the festival. It lists last admission at 21:40, but the festival row does not clearly state a separate closing time; confirm with the museum before planning an evening visit. The notice does not extend evening hours to the other modern-heritage venues.
Why go
Choose it as the orientation point for a walking day in old Gunsan. The museum gives context before you move through the former bank, customs and colonial-era commercial streets, and combined tickets can make sense if you plan several nearby municipal sites.
