Busan Modern History Museum, Modern history museum in Jung-gu district, Busan, South Korea.
The museum displays artifacts, photographs, and documents illustrating Busan's development from the late 19th century through the 20th century.
Built in 1929 as Oriental Development Company headquarters during Japanese occupation, this building later served as United States Information Service until 2003.
Exhibition halls present local stories through period-specific recreations, including a model of central Busan's Daecheong-dong street from colonial times.
Located at 104 Daecheong-ro, Jung-gu, the museum contains two main exhibition halls focusing on different aspects of regional modernization.
The structure exemplifies early 20th century reinforced concrete architecture, making it one of few remaining buildings of this style in South Korea.
