Inner Port, which shared the historic beginning of Incheon, will leave after more than 100 years. Incheon was also the biggest reason for receiving the titles of "port city" and "sea city," but I think the disconnection from the sea was taken for granted. As you approach Inner Port, the port closest to the city, only huge iron fences, large cargo trucks and the resulting dust welcome visitors. Crane and ships, which have a bleak atmosphere, are no longer felt as a scar that can bring vitality to the underdeveloped original city center. One-dimensionally, the crane lifts the invisible sea from the eye level and gives it to the residents, and the ship borrows the form as a symbol of the port and shares the glory of the past vast sea with the original city, and the port is no longer cut off from the city.
The museum will share historical moments with the city, and memories will be shared by resolving the disconnection with the landmark of Incheon Port.
