Daxi Wood Art Eco Museum - Daxi Assembly Hall Introduction
The original Dasi Assembly Hall Western-style building is currently an exhibition space for the Dasi Woodcraft Museum's collection and thematic exhibitions on the unique furniture of Dasi, providing a display space for Dasi wood artisans to showcase their exquisite woodcraft skills. Originally, it was the Dasi Assembly Hall Western-style building, funded during the Japanese colonial period by the "Dasi Assembly Corporation," composed of local gentry. The Dasi Assembly Hall was completed in 1923, consisting of a brick western-style building and a wooden Japanese-style building. The western hall was used for meetings, gatherings, lectures, banquets, and ceremonies, while the Japanese-style building served as accommodation, resting space, and for arts and cultural education. It is now the only remaining Japanese-era assembly hall in Taoyuan, preserving its surrounding park and architectural context. It was registered as a historic building in 2004. In 2020, renovations were completed, transforming it into a space focused on "wooden furniture," showcasing the fusion of Dasi wood artisans' craft, design, and contemporary living needs.
