Wondering about the development process of Songdo and other cities in Incheon? Join me on a tour around the Incheon Urban History Museum.
A Brief History of Incheon Urban History museum
This museum is the main facility of the 2009 Incheon World urban festival. It shows the past, present and future of Incheon at a glance through various simulations and models.

The exhibition hall tells the story of the modern Incheon history. The city of Incheon has blossomed into a modern city with the opening of the port. Through the years, the city has gone through many changes.
