Open Port Museum opened since 1883. It is about the modern cultures introduced through Incheon Port.

 
 The museum is designated into 4 exhibition halls.

At the introduction section, video data of the first gated dock 
and records of the first maritime vessels installed in Incheon Port are displayed.

postal system, telegrams and telephones and communication system 
were introduced between Incheon and Seoul.
 
The Film Academy is also displaying here.


The next exhibition room showcases the Korean railway and materials related to 
Gyeongin Railway, the first railway in Korea. With the continuous and 
gradual development of 110 years, Korea KTX train is now
placed at the 5th fastest high-speed rail in the world.


The 3rd Exhibition Room is a themed exhibition room of the street views
before and after the opening the Incheon Port portrayed as 
stereoscopic street models and videos.

After the opening of the port, the street in front of the current museum (1st Bank of Japan at the time) was the centre of Japanese ancestry where banks, hotels, and shops were concentrated. The model installed in this exhibition room is based on photographs that were taken in the 1910s.

 
The 4th exhibition room is a themed exhibition room that 
utilizes a vault from the time when it was used as a bank in the past.
