      Start with the port-history overview

      Use the exact museum entrance rather than a generic Gunsan waterfront pin, then decide which nearby colonial-era buildings deserve a closer reading.

      Continue outside as a separate route

      Old Gunsan Customs House and the harbour district are close, but each building has its own access boundary and interpretation.

    TRAVELER FAQ

    Answers worth checking before you leave.

    Can I visit the modern-history district if the museum is closed?

    The public streets can still be walked, but building interiors and interpretation are separate. Use the museum's current notice before making it the centre of the day.

    Does this pin represent every modern-history attraction?

    No. It marks the museum entrance. Nearby heritage buildings retain their own exact pins and access rules.

    Are the operating details for Gunsan Modern History Museum live?

    The displayed guidance was checked September 8, 2026, but it is not a live operator feed. Open the linked official guide and a Korean map again on the day because hours, closures, tickets and transport can change.

    Can a traveller correct this page?

    Yes. Submit a sourced community wiki correction or a current field report; proposed facts are reviewed before becoming canonical information.

      At 240 Haemang-ro

      Start with the port-history overview

      Use the exact museum entrance rather than a generic Gunsan waterfront pin, then decide which nearby colonial-era buildings deserve a closer reading.

      Old Gunsan Customs House and the harbour district are close, but each building has its own access boundary and interpretation.

    4. Traveler tips

    • Allow museum time before walking the district so the surviving warehouses, banks and customs buildings have historical context.
    • Do not use one building's opening notice for the entire modern-history cluster; check each interior separately.
    • The waterfront can be windy and exposed even when the indoor museum is comfortable, so plan both environments.
    • Search “전북특별자치도 군산시 해망로 240 군산근대역사박물관” in Naver Map or Kakao Map and confirm the exact entrance and return route.
    • Hours, admission, closures and programme schedules can change; use the official source before departure.
    • The audited coordinate identifies the named destination, but the final gate, parking area and step-free entrance still need a live route check.
