Incheon Museum Recreates 55-Year-Old Neighborhood, Offering Citizens a Unique Experience

A museum that vividly recreates the look of an Incheon hillside neighborhood from 55 years ago is drawing visitors. In 1971, this area, where about 3,000 refugee and migrant families lived together, now offers citizens a special space to feel the atmosphere of the time, presenting them with memories and experiences from the past. The museum specifically restores and showcases aspects of daily life from that era, including a small barbershop at the neighborhood entrance, wrestling matches broadcast on the black-and-white TV watched by the entire community, and a cotton quilt shop run by refugees.

Incheon's journey from its opening to modernization has been brought to life through immersive AI video.

The daily lives of the people of the old hillside neighborhood, which disappeared as the area transformed into an apartment complex, have been restored through this unique museum, establishing it as a cultural space connecting the past and the present.
