Tamsui Fisheries Life Culture Image Museum Introduction
Next to the First Fishing Harbor in Tamsui, the old oil warehouse that has been abandoned for many years and weathered 60 years of history was transformed on February 14, 2007, into the "Tamsui Fishery Life Cultural Image Museum," featuring white walls and green window grills. In front of the museum stands a green vintage mailbox, and inside, the wall retains the original red antique fuel pump that once supplied fuel to fishing boats. The museum showcases many black and white postcards of Tamsui's landscapes, which are long-time works of the curator, Brother Ah-Chung, reflecting his deep emotions towards Tamsui through photographs of its past charm. Outside, visitors can enjoy the beauty of the "Fishermen’s Harbor Viewing Embankment," one of Tamsui's Eight Scenic Spots. For over 20 years, Brother Ah-Chung has been capturing Tamsui's beauty, traversing the streets with his camera to document the town's various changes. He photographs fishermen, fishing activities, and river and seaside scenes with the sentiment of storytelling. He has also turned many years of black and white photography into postcards for sale. Visitors to the museum are encouraged to write down their feelings and thoughts for family and friends, allowing the beauty of Tamsui to be shared with the world through these postcards.
