Mokpo Modern History Museum is the oldest building in Mokpo and a witness to Korea’s modern and contemporary history. It was built in 1898 and was used to house various public organizations, like city halls, consulates, and cultural centers, before being turned into the Mokpo Modern History Museum in 2014. As a building that has survived through rapid changes, it is valued for its historical and architectural significance.
The museum has an exhibition on Mokpo’s history, organized into seven themes, detailing the history of the production and exploitation of various goods during the Japanese colonial period (1910-1945), along with miniature recreations of the streets of Mokpo city at that time.
