The main treasure of this museum is the display of many items recovered from a large merchant ship that was sunk in 700 years ago. The vessel was originated from China and bound for Korea and Japan. The ship was sunk near the Mokpo area.
Since the ship was carrying Chinese products, the porcelains shown in the pictures are from China.
