The center is specifically located at Jisepo, a historic port that has served as a natural shelter for vessels for generations.
The exhibition layout uses the metaphor of 'oceans as a source of energy' to explain both shipbuilding history and future marine resource development.
The facility functions as a sister-institution to the neighboring Geoje Fish Museum, effectively combining industrial history with natural history.
It provides rare access to technical information regarding offshore plant construction, which is a major pillar of the local Geoje economy.
The museum includes a 4D stereoscopic theater that simulates the experience of underwater exploration.
The Geoje Shipbuilding Marine Cultural Center is a specialized facility documenting the history and technical evolution of Korea's shipbuilding industry. Located in the Jisepo harbor area, the center serves as an educational hub for both maritime history and local oceanography. It features interactive exhibits focused on the development of deep-sea exploration technology and ship engineering processes. The facility houses an aquarium segment alongside its industrial displays to highlight the regional marine ecosystem. Visitors can explore models and physical prototypes that trace the transition from traditional wooden boat construction to modern high-tech vessel manufacturing. The center is situated adjacent to the Geoje Fish Museum, creating a cluster of maritime-focused education sites.
