Guo Zihou Music Museum Introduction
Known as the "Father of Hualien Music," Master Guo Ziqiu enriched the memories of many residents in Hualien through music. To preserve important history for future generations, a traditional Japanese wooden building has been carefully renovated into a music cultural museum that displays precious manuscripts, musical instruments, and various documents. Accompanied by the fragrant aroma of cypress wood, visitors can enjoy the artistic atmosphere and appreciate the resilient spirit of the old building. The Guo Ziqiu Music Cultural Museum consists of two halls. Hall One primarily showcases Master Guo's creative manuscripts, tools for instrument restoration, handwritten letters, and other valuable historical materials, including a piano used by Master Guo. The display wall features his life story and old photographs, providing visitors with a glimpse into his early teaching methods and lifestyle. Hall Two serves as a performance space for artistic exhibitions and community interactions, allowing visitors to experience the essence of local music culture while adding a touch of classical elegance.
