Ulsan Museum presents 'Ulsan Cultural Heritage: The Past Preserved, the Future to Carry Forward' from October 13, 2026 to January 3, 2027. The first-floor special galleries I and II explore the city's heritage from prehistory to today, placing objects within the systems used to protect them.
A recent designation of a deer-antler harpoon tip embedded in whale bone provides a starting point. The four sections introduce how heritage is designated, examine nationally protected objects connected to Ulsan, explore city-designated tangible and intangible heritage and the lives behind it, and consider the work of conservation for future generations.
The city's official release states that entry is free and no advance booking is required. The release does not confirm daily opening times or exceptional closures, so check museum arrangements before visiting. Inquiries: 052-229-4723. The exhibition offers a longer view of a city more commonly associated with modern industry.
