If you travel to Mokpo, you must visit here‼️

Mokpo's past and present meet at the Mokpo Modern History Museum, a space that vividly illustrates how this port city developed a century ago. ⏳🌊 From Mokpo's opening in 1897 to the Japanese colonial period and the post-liberation changes, this museum offers a glimpse into the city's history. The Modern History Museum is divided into Building 1 (the former Japanese Consulate) and Building 2 (the former Oriental Development Company). 🏯 Building 1 is a red brick, Western-style building, a preserved replica of the consulate built by Japan in the early 1900s. The staircases, windows, and even every piece of furniture retain their original atmosphere, making you feel as if you've traveled back in time. 📸🕰️ The museum is filled with diverse exhibits, including maps, trade documents, household items, and clothing from the time of Mokpo's opening. 📜📦 The photos and videos that illustrate Mokpo's development as a port city are particularly fascinating. It's also a great way to understand Mokpo's identity, which was formed around the sea. 🌊⚓ Building 2 utilizes the former Oriental Development Company building, a Japanese land-grabbing agency during the colonial period, to vividly portray the economic exploitation and social structure of the time. 🧭📚 While it portrays the pain of history in a sobering manner, it also offers a glimpse into the resilience of the people who lived through that era. Outside, you'll find Modern Culture Street, where you can stroll and enjoy the old buildings, souvenir shops, and cafes. ☕🏮 Snap a photo on the street, where the red brick walls and sea breeze blend, and you'll fully experience the charm of "Mokpo, a city where time stands still." 💛📷 #travelcourse #domestictravel #mokpotravel
