Ulsan Museum, Ulsan, South Korea

4.0 (36 reviews) Spent Ranking #10 in Ulsan Speciality Museums

Good displays on Ulsan's industrial history

Ulsan Museum is housed in a stylish building adjacent to Ulsan Grand Park. The permanent exhibitions are about the history of Ulsan divided into the industrial history and the non-industrial history covering the Stone Age to the Japanese Occupation period. Of the two sections, the industrial part was much better done and very informative as I only knew about the Hyundai auto plant prior to my visit. The general history section had a bit much to read but also had some good displays like the replica of the petroglyphs found in Ulsan. The temporary exhibition was about Ulsan during the Silla period specifically which would only be interesting to total history buffs.

Korean Heritage & Industrial History
The Ulsan Museum which is very easily accessible is located adjacent to the Ulsan Grand Park, Nam-gu (further up from Gonguptap Rotary). Entrance is free for the general exhibits. Some exhibition areas are subject to a fee. Tickets can be obtained on the ground floor. The only downside is that most exhibits are in Korean language with minimal English translation. Improvements to the translation would have been very helpful. The museum educates visitors on the Korean cultural heritage and its subsequent industrialisation prowess. A children's interactive area (in Korean) is also provided. All-in-all, it's worth the visit as it gives you a good look at the Korean way of life.
