Daegu Modern History Museum

This museum is wonderful! Not only is it free, but it is also easily accessible by car with free parking! Every time I have visited here there has been a new exhibition which is good, and it has given me the chance to learn about the History of Daegu! If you love History, or just want something to do during the cold winter, then this is the place to be!

Nice building. Informative displays. Some in English.

First built by Japan in 1932 as a bank, the building was once a symbol of repression and exploitation during the Japanese colonial rule. Today, the building stands proudly as an educational site and bears the title of ‘Cultural Property No. 49’ in recognition of its historical and cultural significance. The two-story museum (1,971 square meters) houses a permanent exhibition (1F), featured exhibition (2F), and a hands-on exhibition room and classroom for diverse cultural activities and lectures. The history exhibition features the lifestyle of Daegu citizens, local customs, and education of the late 19th century and the early 20th century. This site offers insights into Daegu’s evolution from a traditional to a modern city through its dismantling and reorganization. The museum also features experience spaces and cultural lecture rooms. Visitors can explore Daegu’s modern history through photos and videos showcasing events such as the National Debt Compensation Movement, March 1st Movement, Korean War, February 28th Democratic Movement, and developments in education, culture, and industry.

I was looking for places to visit on a cold weather and found this place on the Daegutrip app. It is a beautiful building and tells a bit of the modern history of Daegu. The entrance is free and is an easy place to find since it is not far from city center. I loved vising and would recommend for others who likes museums and history.

Very nice and cool place for jogging and walking around with your family nice scenery and fresh breeze. There is a cafeteria at the entrance however it’s closed in every Mondays.

Admission is free. The building is the modern cultural heritage of Daegu, used to be Korea Development Bank. The building is equipped with a 2-story ground, 1 basement, the exhibition room, special exhibit room, experience room, cultural lecture room, and the library. Audio interprator in English is available at counter.

Small, informative museum about Daegu since the Japanese colonial period. About half in English. Worth a quick visit if you're nearby. Free.

A good update if dongdaegu history. Looking at exhibits relating to post korean war.
