Description:
The Korea Maritime University Museum provides the big picture of the historic role that the Korean shipping industry has played, thus making the Museum unique among all university museums in Korea. The 1st and 2nd galleries on the 5th floor of Maritime college building show the history of the Port of Pusan, shell heaps found in Chodo and shipping materials such as parts, equipment and models. The historic data room exhibits a variety of souvenir collected by training ships and relates information from the past, through the present, and into the future of KMU.
