The National Saemangeum Reclamation Museum (Director Kim Hang-sul) will showcase the exhibition "New York! City of Dreams Built on Water" starting from the 21st. This exhibition will continue until May 31, 2026, focusing on New York's history through the themes of reclamation and immigration.

The exhibition begins with the story of Ellis Island, which served as the gateway for American immigration from the late 19th century to the early 20th century. The skyscrapers and international harbor built on it transformed New York into a hub where the world's capital and culture intersect.

In relation to this, various displays will showcase the immigration inspection process at Ellis Island, the immigration record of 17-year-old Annie Moore from Ireland, the laborers involved in the reclamation work, and maps and photos depicting the expansion of the New York Harbor and the construction of skyscrapers. Through these exhibits, it can be confirmed that "reclamation and immigration" have been important driving forces in the growth of modern-day New York.
