  • The original building has been smartly refurbished and is now operating as a library and archive, but there is no musuem to speak of: a few display boards, only one of which has any English text...

  • I spent less than an hour in the whole museum. There were only a few interesting exhibits and the TVs played really weird (kinda propaganda-ish?) videos. The special exhibition room wasn't opened...

  • The Busan Modern History Museum is definitely a must see for history buffs or for people who want just want to get away to a quiet place. It's very informative and you'll learn a lot about how Busan came to be from the 1850's to the Modern day.
  • The most intriguing feature - for me - is the way the Japanese colonization is described. No toning down there. Almost shocking. Another worth mentioning is the inter-active geogtaphical map that lights up the part on the geographical presenration the place you select and then plays a video on screen showing historical data of the place.
  • Mainly about Busan History from the 1800s which alot of it covers Japan exploitation and oppression of Koreans in the area. Free entry. !A small musuem which takes approx. 40 mins to go through.
  • Well documented history of Busan. A must see to understand the way that the japanese entered in Korea.
  • if you want to know Busan,please visit here.
