The POSCO Museum, which opened in Goedong-dong, Pohang-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do on July 3, 2003, shows the history, spirit, corporate culture and vision of POSCO. This 3-story, 3,636 m² building rests on a 9,917 m² site, and the exhibition area is 1,983 m². In other advanced countries, it is common for a company to open a museum, however, the POSCO museum came in the spotlight from the master planning phase since it was a rare case in Korea. The museum was established with the aim of creating a space where the past, present and future of POSCO coexist. POSCO became one of the most competitive companies in the world in just 30 years, when the concept of steel manufacturing had not existed in the country. POSCO was able to achieve success thanks to the POSCO employees who fought against all kinds of adversities. The POSCO museum showcases such great achievements, as well as the entire history of the company, giving dreams and hopes to the youth who visit the museum.
