A harbor warehouse opens a new chapter
In Ulsan's Jangsaengpo district, a building once connected to refrigeration and processing has found a new use. The operator's history records Namyang Refrigeration in 1973 and Sechang Refrigeration in 1993. The cultural venue opened on 26 June 2021.
Ulsan's history, floor by floor
Floor 2 features a memorial space about the groundbreaking of Ulsan's Industrial Center. Galleries and media art occupy floors 3 and 4. Floor 6 has the Jigwan book café and Small Theater W, while the rooftop is called Starlight Yard. Not every area is necessarily open on every visit.
A simple way to explore
Begin with the industrial story on floor 2, then explore the galleries. If the book café is operating, it offers a place to pause. The contrast between the former industrial harbor and a contemporary arts venue makes this building distinctive.
