파크1538

The history museum and park of POSCO, named after the melting point of iron, 1538°C. It tells the story of South Korea’s rise as a steel power.

Park1538 opened in 2022 beside POSCO’s headquarters. It includes a history museum, a hall of honor, steel-themed exhibition halls, and an outdoor park. It presents POSCO’s journey from its founding in 1968 to becoming a major global steel company, with fresh and interactive exhibits. Entry is free, though some galleries require online reservations, and it is closed on Mondays. Visits to the factory require a separate reservation for a group tour. It is about 20 minutes by taxi from Pohang Station.
