Dokdo Museum has a diverse collection of relics related to Liancourt Rocks (Korean name: Dokdo) and the East sea (Sea of the Japan). It was opened on August 8, 1997. The aim of Dokdo Museum is to collect and research Dokdo (Liancourt Rocks) and the East Sea (Sea of Japan). Additionally, by exhibiting and managing these materials, Korea hopes to reinforce its strength against Japanese claims on what Korea considers its territory on Liancourt Rocks.

The second exhibition hall is about Japan's groundless (from Korea's perspective) claims stemming from 'The Theory of Occupation' and the 'Sea of Japan.' There old maps and references are exhibited from Korea and Japan. In the third exhibition hall, there are pictures of the Volunteer Guard of Dokdo and the Green Ulleung-Dokdo Club.
