Park1538 Overview
Park1538 combines 'Park' and 1538℃, the melting point of pure steel. It is a public open space that features diverse cultural attractions. Come and explore POSCO's past, present, and future at the hotspot where culture and cutting-edge technology are blended and curated for your enjoyment.
Located between the Welcome Center and POSCO History Museum, Waterside Park offers a quiet refuge. The pond that features a fountain provides a year-round habitat for seasonal plants that serve as the changing background to the Samhwa goro, a historical blast furnace (National Cultural Heritage No. 217) restored and installed as a feature exhibit of the Museum. Please take time to enjoy a bit of nature around the pond during your visit.
POSCO History Museum narrates the story of POSCO through an extensive archive of photographs and artifacts that capture the company’s key milestones. Explore the fascinating history of Korea’s steel industry, by tracing its journey from humble beginnings to global renown.
Built with POSCO’s structural steel, the elegant curvature of POSCO Museum embodies the symbol of infinity. The infinite loop architectural design takes what is finite and transforms it to represent boundlessness. POSCO Museum exemplifies how imagination can become reality.
