About About the place

The Daegu Modern History Museum offers a glimpse into the city's past, particularly focusing on the modern era and the impact of Japanese colonization. Located near Gyeongsam Gamyeong Park, the museum is housed in a historically significant building – a former bank constructed during the colonial period, retaining some of its original architectural features. Exhibits detail the evolution of Daegu, with signage available in both English and Korean. A video reconstruction provides visual context, though it is primarily in Korean. The museum is known for being unexpectedly open even on days when it is scheduled to be closed, particularly around holidays.

It is a great place to stay and gives you much luxury and comfort at a great price. The service is great and the management was very prompt and was very helpful and assisted us with everything. The rooms were big and spacious, well maintained and the views from the window of the city skyline was just stunning. Loved my experience here!
