    DAY-OF PLAN

    Know the sequence before you go.

    Times from the operator are kept separate from Korea Era planning guidance.
    1. 01
      Check current exhibition access

      The red-brick exterior and public district can be visible when the small interior exhibition is closed or restricted.

    2. 02
      Use the exact customs building

      Do not confuse it with the adjacent modern-history museum or other colonial-era brick buildings.

    3. 03
      Read it within the port system

      Pair the customs function with museum context rather than treating the architecture as a detached European-style photo stop.

    3. Visit flow

    1. 01
      Before the harbour walk

      Check current exhibition access

      The red-brick exterior and public district can be visible when the small interior exhibition is closed or restricted.

    2. 02
      At 244-7 Haemang-ro

      Use the exact customs building

      Do not confuse it with the adjacent modern-history museum or other colonial-era brick buildings.

    3. 03
      After the building

      Read it within the port system

      Pair the customs function with museum context rather than treating the architecture as a detached European-style photo stop.

    4. Traveler tips

    • Read the customs house as evidence of trade control and colonial extraction, not only as picturesque architecture.
    • Use the exact street number because several heritage buildings sit close together around the museum.
    • Photograph from public space without blocking the compact entrance or neighbouring visitor flow.
    • Search “전북특별자치도 군산시 해망로 244-7 옛 군산세관” 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.
