Incheon through its music
The Incheon Metropolitan Museum exhibition *Music City Incheon* traces the city's place in Korean popular-music history. The official announcement references early gramophones near the open port, band culture in Bupyeong, folk listening rooms in Dongincheon, rock scenes in Juan and Gwangyo-dong, and today's Pentaport festival. Musicians Kim Hong-tak and Song Chang-sik are mentioned as emblematic figures.

Why the object count differs
The October 22, 2026 official announcement says there will be about 500 objects such as instruments and scores, but an April 7 preview for the same exhibition said about 50. The newer description is used as the current published plan, not as proof of the final installed count; confirm with the museum.
The individual exhibition notice does not specify a separate admission charge or a daily special-exhibition timetable. Avoid assuming general museum policies apply to this particular show without checking current venue information.
